Characteristics and timing of hydrothermal fluid circulation in the fossil Pyrenean hyperextended rift system: new constraints from the Chaînons Béarnais (W Pyrenees)
The evolution of hyperextended rift systems is linked to complex tectonic processes in which fluid activity is much more important than previously thought. This study sheds light on the fluid-sediment interact...

Polyphase tectono-magmatic evolution during mantle exhumation in an ultra-distal, magma-poor rift domain: example of the fossil Platta ophiolite, SE Switzerland
Despite the fact that many studies have investigated mantle exhumation at ultra-slow-spreading ridges and magma-poor rifted margins, there are still numerous questions concerning the 3D architecture, magmatic,...

U–Pb geochronology of the Sondalo gabbroic complex (Central Alps) and its position within the Permian post-Variscan extension
The end of an orogenic cycle is commonly associated with a general extensional regime, widespread magmatism and complex metamorphic overprints. The Austroalpine domain in SE Switzerland and N Italy preserves a...

The Sondalo gabbro contact aureole (Campo unit, Eastern Alps): implications for mid-crustal mafic magma emplacement
Contact aureoles rimming plutonic rocks are the locus of metamorphism and deformations witnessing magma emplacement mechanisms in the crust. In this study, structural and petrological observations are combined...

Rift-related inheritance in orogens: a case study from the Austroalpine nappes in Central Alps (SE-Switzerland and N-Italy)
The Austroalpine nappe systems in SE-Switzerland and N-Italy preserve remnants of the Adriatic rifted margin. Based on new maps and cross-sections, we suggest that the complex structure of the Campo, Grosina/L...

Evolution of magma-poor continental margins from rifting to seafloor spreading
The rifting of continents involves faulting (tectonism) and magmatism, which reflect the strain-rate and temperature dependent processes of solid–state deformation and decompression melting within the Earth1,2. M...
