Journal ArticleDOI
Staircase 40/Ar39Ar spectra of fine-grained white mica: Timing and duration of deformation and empirical constraints on argon diffusion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have modeled the argon concentrations in these micas, taking into account the thermal history of the nappe, mica growth, and diffusional loss of argon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiolarite ages in Alpine-Mediterranean ophiolites: Constraints on the oceanic spreading and the Tethys-Atlantic connection
TL;DR: The history of continental breakup and oceanic spreading of the Alpine Tethys is defined by a revision of isotopic and biochronologic ages of 65 stratigraphic sections located in the Alps, Apennines, Betic Cordillera, Rif, and central Atlantic as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nappe geometry in the Western Swiss Alps
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that most of the lower basement nappes are fold-nappes possessing normal and inverted limbs, and their cores are made of strongly deformed gneisses indicating that important ductile strain took place during the formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotope thermometry of quartz-calcite veins: Unraveling the thermal-tectonic history of the subgreenschist facies Morcles nappe (Swiss Alps)
TL;DR: In this article, structural analysis and oxygen isotope thermometry of syntectonic quartz-calcite fibrous veins can be used to correlate the thermal history of deformed rocks with specific structural and tectonic events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bathonian radiolarians from an ophiolitic mélange of the Alpine Tethys (Gets Nappe, Swiss-French Alps)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a complete Bathonian radiolarian assemblage from two of the best preserved samples, which contains 180 species attributed to 66 genera (44 nassellarians, 22 spumellarians and 1 entactinarian).
