  • The Structure of the Alps: an Overview 1 Institut Fiir Geologie Und Paläontologie, Hellbrunnerstr. 34, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria

Kurz \ J. 1, R. 1 2 1 Institut fiir Geologie und Paläontologie, Hellbrunnerstr. 34, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria. 2 Institut fiir Geologie und Paläontologie, Heinrichstr. 26, A-80 10 Graz, Austria Abstract New data on the present structure and the Late Paleozoic to Recent geological evolution ofthe Eastem Alps are reviewed mainly in respect to the distribution of Alpidic, Cretaceous and Tertiary, metamorphic overprints and the corresponding structure. Following these data, the Alps as a whole, and the Eastem Alps in particular, are the result of two independent Alpidic collisional orogens: The Cretaceous orogeny fo rmed the present Austroalpine units sensu lato (including from fo otwall to hangingwall the Austroalpine s. str. unit, the Meliata-Hallstatt units, and the Upper Juvavic units), the Eocene-Oligocene orogeny resulted from continent­ continent collision and overriding of the stable European continental lithosphere by the Austroalpine continental microplate. Consequently, a fundamental difference in present-day structure of the Eastem and Centrai/Westem Alps resulted. Exhumation of metamorphic crust fo rmed during Cretaceous and Tertiary orogenies resulted from several processes including subvertical extrusion due to lithospheric indentation, tectonic unroofing and erosional denudation. Original paleogeographic relationships were destroyed and veiled by late Cretaceous sinistral shear, and Oligocene-Miocene sinistral wrenching within Austroalpine units, and subsequent eastward lateral escape of units exposed within the centrat axis of the Alps along the Periadriatic fault system due to the indentation ofthe rigid Southalpine indenter.

M. Schmid, H. R. Aebli, F. Heller & A. Zingg SUMMARY: The Periadriatic Line and related lineaments formed as a result of post- collisional deformations which severely modified the Alpine chain. This post-late Oligocene deformation is the result of dextral transpression between the Adriatic sub-plate and the European foreland. Indentation of the western edge of the southern Alps caused uplift, related to backthrusting and associated deformations of the Lepontine region combined with E-directed escape of the central Alps. In the eastern Alps the response to dextral transpression is mainly by lateral escape along conjugate strike slip zones with minor or no vertical movements. Older deformations along this essentially late Alpine lineament can still be inferred locally and include: extension and transfer faulting in the late Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic, Cretaceous deformations, and Tertiary phases of compression (Eocene) and possibly extension (Oligocene).

Willett1 Received: 23 January 2020 / Accepted: 8 July 2020 / Published online: 31 July 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The late Eocene-to-early Oligocene Taveyannaz Formation is a turbidite series deposited in the Northern Alpine Foreland Basin (close to the Alpine orogenic front). Double dating of zircons with the fssion-track and the U–Pb methods is applied on samples from the Taveyannaz Formation to reconstruct the exhumation history of the Central-Western Alps and to under- stand the syn-collisional magmatism along the Periadriatic lineament.

  • Insights from the Permian in the Western Alps
    Timing of crustal melting and magma emplacement at different depths: insights from the Permian in the Western Alps Paola Manzotti1, Florence Bégué2, Barbara Kunz3, Daniela Rubatto2,4, Alexey Ulianov2 Universities of Stockholm1, Lausanne2, Milton Keynes3, Bern4 • During the late Palaeozoic, lithospheric thinning in the future Alpine realm caused high- temperature low-to medium pressure metamorphism and partial melting in the lower crust. Permian metamorphism and magmatism are extensively preserved in the Alps (Schuster & Stüwe 2008). • In the Western Alps, Adria-derived slices of continental crust (e.g. Sesia-Dent Blanche nappes) preserve evidence for Permian magmatism and metamorphism. The Dent Blanche nappe displays the best preserved example of Permian magmatism and metamorphism in the Alpine nappe stack in the Western Alps. • This contribution will present an overview on the age and regional distribution of Permian magmatism and metamorphism in the Western Alps and will detail some exceptional examples from the Dent Blanche nappe. • The results will be compared with existing data from the Southern, Central and Eastern Alps and will be used to discuss the Permian evolution in the future Alpine realm. The Arolla Unit in the Dent Blanche is a fragment of upper continental crust, mostly consisting of Permian intrusive bodies (granitoids, diorite and gabbro) that were metamorphosed at upper greenschist facies conditions and deformed into orthogneisses during the Alpine evolution. Undeformed volumes during the Alpine orogeny nicely preserve the Permian structures. Mont Morion biotite-bearing granite (Dent Blanche) cut by a composite dyke. The dyke displays mingling between coexisting felsic and mafic magma. Undeformed coarse-grained gabbro from the Monte Cervino (Dent Blanche).

BERGANTZ UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES, SEATTLE, WA 98195, USA RECEIVED APRIL 16, 1999; REVISED TYPESCRIPT ACCEPTED JANUARY 14, 2000 Emplacement of mantle-derived magma (magmatic accretion) is the total thermal budget of the continental lower crust, often presumed or inferred to be an important cause of regional produce regional granulite facies metamorphism, and granulite facies metamorphism and crustal anatexis. The jux- generate Y- and heavy rare earth element (HREE)- taposition of mafic cumulates and regionally distributed granulite depleted granitoids (Ellis, 1987). Accretion of mafic facies rocks has led some to consider the Ivrea zone (northern Italy, magma and migration of partial melt will internally Southern Alps) as an important exposure that demonstrates this stratify, chemically differentiate, and deplete the con- causal relationship. However, regional PTt paths indicated by tinental lower crust in large ion lithophile elements metamorphic reaction textures and PT conditions inferred from (LILE). Magmatic accretion has been invoked to provide geothermobarometry indicate that the emplacement of mafic plutonic the heat and mass necessary for sustained magmatism in rocks (Mafic Complex) at the Ivrea zone occurred during de- tectonic settings such as Phanerozoic extensional terranes compression from ambient pressures at the regional thermal maximum. (Lister et al., 1986; Gans, 1987; Fountain, 1989; Mareschal Field and petrographic observations, supported by PT estimates, & Bergantz, 1990; Jarchow et al., 1993) and magmatic indicate that regional retrograde decompression and emplacement of arcs (Hamilton, 1981; Kay & Kay, 1981; Bohlen & the upper parts of the Mafic Complex probably accompanied Lindsley, 1987; Hildreth & Moorbath, 1988).

  • GEOLOGICAL EXCURSION the WESTERN ALPS Field Guidebook
    Orléans University-Institute of Geology and Geophysics Cooperation program GEOLOGICAL EXCURSION IN THE WESTERN ALPS June 22 -July 2, 2018 Field guidebook excursion leaders: M. Faure & Y. Chen Monviso from Agnel Pass Orléans University-Peking University Cooperation program 1 A GEOLOGICAL EXCURSION IN THE WESTERN ALPS Field guide book 2018 M. Faure, Y. Chen PART I: GEOLOGICAL OUTLINE OF THE FRENCH-ITALIAN ALPS INTRODUCTION 1. The Alpine system in Europe. The European continent was progressively edificated by several orogenic events since the Archean (Fig. 1). Paleoproterozoic belts are restricted to Scandinavia. A Neoproterozoic orogen, called the Cadomian Belt, from the name of the Caen city in Normandy, and formed around 600 Ma, is observed in the northern part of the Massif Armoricain and also in Great Britain, in Spain, and East Europe. During the Paleozoic, three collisional belts are recognized, namely i) in western Scandinavia, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Britain, the Caledonian Belt results of the collision between North America (or Laurentia) and Scandinavia (or Baltica) that gave rise to the Laurussia continent in Silurian; ii) the Variscan (or Hercynian) Belt that develops in Middle Europe from SW Iberia to Poland, results of the collision between Laurussia and Gondwana in Devonian and Carboniferous; iii) the Urals formed by the collision between Laurussia and Siberia in Carboniferous. As the result of the Paleozoic orogenies, in Permian, Europe and Africa belonged to the Pangea megacontinent. Fig. 1: Tectonic map of Europe During the Cenozoic, several orogenic belts are recognized in southern Europe (Fig. 1). The Pyrénées are due to the Eocene closure of a continental rift opened in Mesozoic between France and Iberia (= Spain and Portugal).
