a Compilation of the main tectonic units of the southern French–Italian Alps based on Debelmas & Lemoine (1966); Malaroda et al. (1970); Tricart (1980); Gidon et al., (1994, 1977); Barféty et al. (1995); Claudel (1999); Michard et al., (2004, 2022); Kerckhove et al. (2005). The main features of some of the tectonic units are given in Table 1. Further details are found in Additional file 2. b Schematic cross-section of the Ubaye-Maira transect along the NW side of the Ubaye valley, i.e. located immediately north of our working area (modified after Michard et al., 2004). For the location of cross section and related legend see a. Note that the deeper parts of the profile A–Aʹ were obtained by axial projection of structures cropping out near the surface along the B–Bʹ profile in a
