Previously undescribed material in the Natural History Museum Basel provides the basis for a reappraisal of the enigmatic Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous genus Cyclocrinus D’ORBINGY known only from mostly sin...
The low-grade metamorphism of the sedimentary cover of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas is investigated using Illite crystallinity (IC) method. More than 200 samples from three key areas (southwestern, central and east...
Deformation in orogenic belts is frequently accommodated in calcite-rich lithologies, owing to their relatively low strength, particularly compared to quartz-rich rocks. Here, we investigate the coupling betwe...
This study describes the deformation in zones affected by regional shearing, and its relation with local factors, in particular rock compositions. The Tihaliouine and Teg Orak plutons were emplaced close to a ...
Detailed field work and zircon analysis have improved the knowledge of the lithostratigraphy at the base of the Siviez-Mischabel nappe in the Mattertal (St-Niklaus-Törbel area). They confirm the existence of a...
Two different 1D forward numerical models of P-T-t paths for the Grimsel granodiorite are evaluated, in order to estimate its retrograde path independently of isotopic ages. The tectonostratigraphic evolution ...
