Some Alpine Recollections
- 132 SOME ALPINE RECOLLECTIONS been reviewing an American book on ski touring and mountaineering which gives in precise detail the technique of self-contained camping, each member of a party being surprisingly lightly laden and yet supplied with a good many comforts. · I recommend this thought to young ski-tourers and even to others travelling in the Highlands and I hope to take active steps after the war to bring the technique of camping anew to the notice of climbers in the Alp&. For many of us now have a horror of the overcrowded Alpine huts and refuges. I ·wish to thank Mr. MacRobert for his charming talk and for the fascinating views of the Scottish hills which he has shown us. Many, indeed most of us, have done our mountaineering in foreign lands, and I always think there is an added thrill in crossing the Highlands the knowledge that we are on British soil. That is an additional reason why I have spent a very happy hour; and I have been thinking what a power of good a little ski-ing or climbing in • Scotland would qo many of us now. And, if I may be pennitted one. final remark, Mr. President I never thought I should live to see the day "\vhen photographs and films of slaloms and ski races would be shown to an appreciative audience co~sisting of members of the Alpine Club.

A Jurassic Oceanic Core Complex in the High-Pressure Monviso Ophiolite (Western Alps, NW Italy)
A Jurassic oceanic core complex in the high-pressure Monviso ophiolite (western Alps, NW Italy) Andrea Festa1, Gianni Balestro1,*, Yildirim Dilek2, and Paola Tartarotti3 1DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE DELLA TERRA, UNIVERSITÀ DI TORINO, VIA VALPERGA CALUSO, 35, 10125 TORINO, ITALY 2DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EARTH SCIENCE, MIAMI UNIVERSITY, OXFORD, OHIO 45056, USA 3DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE DELLA TERRA, UNIVERSITÀ DI MILANO, VIA MANGIAGALLI, 34, 20133 MILANO, ITALY ABSTRACT The eclogite-facies Monviso ophiolite in the western Alps displays a complex record of Jurassic rift-drift, subduction zone, and Cenozoic collision tectonics in its evolutionary history. Serpentinized lherzolites intruded by 163 ± 2 Ma gabbros are exposed in the footwall of a thick shear zone (Baracun shear zone) and are overlain by basaltic lava flows and synextensional sedimentary rocks in the hanging wall. Mylonitic serpentinites with sheared ophicarbonate veins and talc-and-chlorite schist rocks within the Baracun shear zone represent a rock assemblage that formed from seawater-derived hydrothermal fluids percolating through it during intra-oceanic extensional exhumation. A Lower Cretaceous calc-schist, marble, and quartz-schist metasedimentary assemblage unconformably overlies the footwall and hanging- wall units, representing a postextensional sequence. The Monviso ophiolite, Baracun shear zone, and the associated structures and mineral phases represent core complex formation in an embryonic ocean (i.e., the Ligurian-Piedmont Ocean). The heterogeneous lithostratigraphy and the structural architecture of the Monviso ophiolite documented here are the products of rift-drift processes that were subsequently overprinted by subduction zone tectonics, and they may also be recognized in other (ultra)high-pressure belts worldwide.
