Lithotypes of the Internal Complex: a Micaschist with a rusty weathering colour and displaying an eclogitic foliation S2 marked by Omp, Gln and Wm (Croix Courma sheet). b Calcschist with cm-size bands of felsic composition, marking the S2 foliation (Col Fenêtre monometamorphic meta-sediments). c Eclogite with garnet-rich bands and omphacite-rich ones (Internal Complex). d Gneiss with Gln-rich bands and fragmented Grt wrapped by the mylonitic eclogitic foliation S2 (Loses Blanches sheet). Lithotypes of the External Complex. e Orthogneiss with cm-size magmatic Kfs wrapped by the composite S2 + S3 foliation (Crabun sheet). f Orthogneiss with mm-size Grt wrapped by the composite S2 + S3 foliation (Crabun sheet). g Basic boudinated layer inside orthogneiss (Dondeuil sheet). h 2DK-derived banded gneiss with Qz and Ab bands (light) and Chl, Ep ± Gr bands (dark) (Aquila-Lago slice).
