Tectonic history of the ocean (Combin) – continent (Dent Blanche) contact (P. Manzotti, M. Ballèvre) – 2 days (max 15 participants)
This excursion is devoted to a presentation of the Combin and Dent Blanche units (world famous since Argand), made of oceanic and continental material, respectively. It will provide an opportunity to present new data on their P-T path (including new evidence for HP) and age. The geometry and kinematic analysis of the area will provide better constraints for “extensional” ductile shear zone development during exhumation.
