Pre-Alpine tectonic evolution of the Eastern Alps: from prototethys to paleotethys
In all reconstructions published during the last two decades, the Austroalpine and the
correlative Southalpine basement units of the Eastern Alps were considered to represent a …

Obliquity along plate boundaries
M Philippon, G Corti - Tectonophysics, 2016 - Elsevier
Most of the plate boundaries are activated obliquely with respect to the direction of far field
stresses, as roughly only 8% of the plate boundaries total length shows a very low obliquity …

Pre‐Alpine (Variscan) inheritance: a key for the location of the future Valaisan Basin (Western Alps)
The boundary between the Helvetic and the Penninic (= Briançonnais) Zones has long been
recognized as a major fault (“Penninic Front”) in the Western Alps. A narrow oceanic domain …
