The Maira-Sampeyre and Val Grana Allochthons (south Western Alps): review and new data on the tectonometamorphic evolution of the Briançonnais distal margin
Here we describe the structure, the high-pressure, low-temperature (HP-LT) metamorphism
and tectonic evolution of the Briançonnais distal margin units from the south Western Alps …

Cross-propagation of the western Alpine orogen from early to late deformation stages: Evidence from the Internal Zones and implications for restoration
The internal zones of the Western Alps arc are derived from an oceanic and continental
subduction wedge developed beneath the Adria plate during its paleogene northward drift …

Protracted Subduction of the European Hyperextended Margin Revealed by Rutile U‐Pb Geochronology Across the Dora‐Maira Massif (Western Alps)
G Bonnet, C Chopin, M Locatelli… - …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Dora‐Maira massif is an archetypal nappe stack of subducted and exhumed
upper crust. Slices of continental crust experienced metamorphism at upper blueschist to …

A journey towards the forbidden zone: a new, cold, UHP unit in the Dora-Maira Massif (Western Alps)
The distribution of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism (UHP) at the scale of a mountain belt is
of prime importance for deciphering its past subduction history. In the Western Alps, coesite …
