Monazite, xenotime, and allanite are REE 1-minerals sensu stricto because lanthanides
(La… Lu) and yttrium are critical constituents in them. Apatite does not require REE, but …

Magma-poor rifted margins are being increasingly recognized in present-day Atlantic-type
systems. However, findings of fossil areas floored by exhumed mantle or hyper-extended …

The boundary between the Helvetic and the Penninic (= Briançonnais) Zones has long been
recognized as a major fault (“Penninic Front”) in the Western Alps. A narrow oceanic domain …

This study reviews and synthesizes the present knowledge on the Sesia–Dent Blanche
nappes, the highest tectonic elements in the Western Alps (Switzerland and Italy), which …

In this paper we study the Alpine metamorphic history of a major tectonic zone which formed
during Alpine orogeny, the Dent Blanche Thrust (DBT). This contact, located in the Northern …

During the late Palaeozoic, lithospheric thinning in part of the Alpine realm caused high-
temperature low-to-medium pressure metamorphism and partial melting in the lower crust …

A well‐preserved remnant of the middle crust of the former Adriatic passive margin is
exposed in the Southern Alps (Italy). The Dervio–Olgiasca Zone is located south of the …

Permian magmatic activity is widespread in the Austroalpine Unit stretching from Eastern
Alps to the Western Carpathians and Pannonian region, the link between magmatism and …

Records of Variscan structural and metamorphic imprints in the Alps indicate that before
Pangaea fragmentation, the continental lithosphere was thermally and mechanically …

Garnet is an exceptionally useful mineral for reconstructing the evolution of metamorphic
rocks that have experienced multiple tectonic or thermal events. Understanding how garnet …
