Reconstructing the Variscan Terranes in the Alpine Basement: Facts and Arguments for an Alpidic Orocline

Abstract: The existence of pieces of the Variscan belt in the Alpine basement has been acknowledged for a long time but the correlation of these massifs to the litho-tectonic domains established in Western Europa outside the Alpine chain is still disputed. Due to their ubiquitous character, the abundant late Variscan migmatites and granites are useless to reconstruct the Variscan architecture in the Alpine basement. Ophiolitic sutures, high- and low-grade metamorphic units, and foreland basins provide a preliminary reco… Show more

“…A similar D1/M1 event is documented in the SW Belledonne area with the wellpreserved low angle S1, holding a E-W trending L1 stretching lineation, interpreted as due to an eastward nappe stacking event responsible for crustal thickening coeval with the barrovian metamorphism (M1) (Fernandez et al, 2002;Fréville et al, 2018). In SW Belledonne massif, the peak of M1 metamorphism is dated on monazite (LA-ICP-MS) and zircon (SIMS) at around 337 ± 7 Ma and 338 ± 5 Ma respectively (Fig.…”

“…0.5-0.6 GPa, 600 °C, recorded in staurolite-bearing micaschists and up to ca. 0.8 GPa, 680 °C for the migmatitic gneiss in lowest unit (Guillot and Ménot, 1999;Fernandez et al, 2002;Fréville et al, 2018). The M1 metamorphism is coeval with a D1 deformation characterized by the development of a westward dipping foliation S1 and E-W stretching L1 lineation interpreted as an eastward nappe stacking event (Fréville et al, 2018).…”

“…Dobmeier et al, 1999), which prevents correlations with preserved basins in other Variscan massifs. Recently, it has been proposed that the ECMs belong to the Saxothuringian zone of the Variscan belt, rather than to the Moldanubian zone (Faure & Ferrière, 2022). Therefore, additional data on the early Variscan history of the ECMs are required to constrain their paleogeographic position in the Variscan belt and their geodynamic timing and thermal evolution.…”
