a Tectonic sketch of the Italian Alps with the main structural domains. b Tectonic map of Western Alps with the boundaries of metamorphic complexes that constitute the Sesia–Lanzo Zone. PL Periadriatic Lineament. Black rectangle locates the investigated area. c Interpretative geological map of Rocca Canavese Thrust Sheets Unit (RCTU), the adjacent units Eclogitic Micaschist Complex (EMC), and the Lanzo Massif (LM). The location of sample used for the Q-XRMA analysis is reported (ZR4: x = 1387472, y = 5019836; CR115: x = 1387299, y = 5016845; ZR19: x = 1387727, y = 5018481). Coordinate system WGS 84-UTM 32 N. Redrawn after Cantù et al. 2016 and Roda et al. 2018. d Geological cross-sections (see traces in the geological map). Redrawn after Cantù et al. (2016) and Roda et al. (2018)
