Kinematic linkage between internal zone extension and shortening in more external units in the NW Alps
In the Alps a major extensional shear zone unroofed eclogites in its footwall from 30 kbar to c. 10 kbar, implying of the order of 60 km of relative vertical movement in the period 45-36 Ma. The horizontal component of divergence was of the order of 100 km. We use the foreland basin sedimentary reco...
