Exhumation of deep continental crust in a transpressive regime: The example of Variscan eclogites from the Aiguilles‐Rouges massif (Western Alps)
Mafic eclogites are found in many orogens as lenses embedded in quartzofeldspathic
migmatites. These high‐pressure relics are interpreted either as remnants of ancient sutures …
