Deformation related to the Mont Blanc back-thrust. a Main thrust contact between the Mont Blanc granite and its original Mesozoic cover units. b Discrete shear-zone inside the medium-grained Mont Blanc granite. Orientation of the shear-zone is 346/80 (dip direction/dip) and the lineation is 270/53 (trend/plunge) resulting in oblique reverse-dextral kinematics. Locations: a is from the path Planpincieux—Rifugo Bocalatte [564653/077013], b is from the foot of the Thoules Glacier between Pavillon and Point Helbronner [560289/076075] (Coordinates of all localities are given in Swiss coordinates)
