Abstract
We study the geometry of cuspidal singularities in obtained by folding generically a cuspidal edge. In particular we study the geometry of the cuspidal cross-cap , i.e. the cuspidal singularity. We study geometrical invariants associated to and show that they determine it up to order 5. We then study the flat geometry (contact with planes) of a generic cuspidal cross-cap by classifying submersions which preserve it and relate the singularities of the resulting height functions with the geometric invariants.

Second version generalizes some results for all cuspidal $S_k$ singularities, not only the cuspidal cross-cap
