Heat transfer through the nappes of the Lepontine Dome

Abstract: <p>The heat transfer through the nappes of the Lepontine Dome (Central Alps, Ticino, Switzerland) produced metamorphic amphibolite-facies isogrades that locally dissect the tectonic contacts. This large-scale observation, suggesting a thermal amphibolite-facies event after thrusting and nappe formation, is however at odd with the extremely pervasive mineral and stretching lineation (NW-SE directed) that attests non-coaxial deformation during shearing at similar metamorphic conditions.</p&a… Show more
