Journal ArticleDOI
Orthogneiss, mylonite and non coaxial deformation of granites: the example of the South Armorican Shear Zone
TL;DR: In this article, the deformation of two granitic massifs along a dextral wrench fault zone (the South Armorican Shear Zone) is examined at the sample and grain scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecors deep seismic data and balanced cross sections: Geometric constraints on the evolution of the Pyrenees
F. Roure,Pierre Choukroune,X. Berastegui,Josep Anton Muñoz,A. Villien,P. Matheron,M. Bareyt,M. Seguret,P. Camara,J. Deramond +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the ECORS deep seismic profile and additional geological and geophysical data to constrain the balancing of a structural section crossing the Pyrenees to minimize the effects of the mid-Cretaceous strike-slip motion along the North Pyrenean fault.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massive deep-sea sulphide ore deposits discovered on the East Pacific Rise
Jean Francheteau,H.D. Needham,Pierre Choukroune,Tierre Juteau,Michel Seguret,Richard D. Ballard,Paul J. Fox,William R. Normark,A. Carranza,D. Cordoba,José Manuel Crespo Guerrero,C. Rangin,Henri Bougault,Pierre Cambon,R. Hekinian +14 more
TL;DR: The East Pacific Rise deposits represent a modern analogue of Cyprus-type sulphide ores associated with ophiolitic rocks on land and contain at least 29% zinc metal and 6% metallic copper as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical models of extensional tectonics at various scales
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary series of experiments using physical models of extensional tectonics have been investigated at various scales, including the upper layers of the lithosphere using sand; lower layers, using silicone putties of two different densities; the mantle asthenosphere was modelled using honey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Archean granite-greenstone tectonics at Kolar (South India): Interplay of diapirism and bulk inhomogeneous contraction during juvenile magmatic accretion
TL;DR: A structural study of the Kolar greenstone belt and surrounding granite-gneiss terrains combined with U-Pb dating reveals that the middle and lower crustal tectonoplutonic pattern of the eastern Dharwar craton developed during a major magmatic accretion event between 2550 and 2530 Ma.
