Subduction of oceanic lithosphere in the Alps: Selective and archetypal from (slow-spreading) oceans

Philippe Agard

Summary: The geological record of the Alps represents the subduction process of short-lived and slowly closing North Atlantic-type oceans, demonstrating different subduction dynamics. There are noticeable differences between metasediment-and mafic/ultramafic-dominated units, with geological structures influenced by initial margin architecture and/or continental subduction.

Post-orogenic exhumation in the western Pyrenees: evidence for extension driven by pre-orogenic inheritance

Charlotte Fillon et al.

Summary: A Late Miocene exhumation phase was revealed in the western Pyrenees, with contrasting thermal histories and a focused exhumation domain identified. The exhumation event of around 10 million years ago is related to the modern normal faulting regime and inherited crustal characteristics from the Mesozoic rift evolution of the northern Pyrenees. The study also highlights the transportation of eroded sediments offshore in the Bay of Biscay instead of accumulation in the Piedmont region.

Tectonic Inversion and Geomorphic Evolution of the Algerian Margin Since Messinian Times: Insights From New Onshore/Offshore Analog Modeling Experiments

Pierre Strzerzynski et al.

Summary: A comprehensive land-sea experimental modeling was conducted to reproduce the morphotectonic and sedimentary evolution of the central Algerian margin over the last 6 million years. The study highlighted the key role of the Messinian Salinity Crisis on the morphotectonic evolution, and identified the central Algerian margin as experiencing the early building of an accretionary wedge combining thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonic styles.

Lateral variations of pressure-temperature evolution in non-cylindrical orogens and 3-D subduction dynamics: the Betic-Rif Cordillera example

Eloise Bessiere et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the evolution of Mediterranean orogens is highly complex, involving interactions between the subducting lithosphere, the overriding plate, and the asthenosphere. Research in the Alboran domain highlights the causal relationship between tectonic events and pressure-temperature evolution. Based on 40Ar/39Ar dating, it is concluded that HP-LT metamorphism in all complexes occurred during the Eocene epoch.

Denudation history and palaeogeography of the Pyrenees and their peripheral basins: an 84-million-year geomorphological perspective

Marc Calvet et al.

Summary: This review provides a synthesis of the evolution of the Pyrenees since -84 Ma, focusing on its peripheral proforeland, retro-foreland, and Mediterranean basins. It adopts a geomorphological perspective and analyzes the waxing and waning of palaeorelief through denudation history, rock-cooling histories, and tectonic and erosional landforms. The study highlights the dissimilarities between the Ancestral Pyrenees and the modern mountain range, suggesting a transient topographic state driven by large-scale asthenospheric flows.

Basement-Cover Decoupling During the Inversion of a Hyperextended Basin: Insights From the Eastern Pyrenees

M. Ducoux et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the Eastern Pyrenees to investigate the relationship between inverted Mesozoic rifted basins and their basement, using temperature estimates and structural data to describe the spatial distribution of various tectono-metamorphic units. The results show that metamorphic sedimentary cover undergoes ductile deformation, while the basement experiences brittle deformation, with post-metamorphism breccias indicating a decollement level in the Upper Triassic evaporites. Contrary to previous models, the study proposes a large thrust displacement of a single metamorphic basin over a basement block, highlighting the general allochthonous position of the former hyperextended rift basin thrusted along a decoupling layer.

Summary: This study investigates the role of a hyperextended rift system in the formation of the Basque-Cantabrian Pyrenees, discussing their current architecture and the inherited rift template. Through regional, crustal-scale cross-sections, the study provides geological and geophysical information and interpretations of the Central and Western Basque-Cantabrian Pyrenees, revealing different structural styles along the orogenic belt.

Summary: The eastern Beausset Syncline and Toulon Belt in southern France are the easternmost remnants of the Pyrenean geological systems. Detailed field mapping and integration of structural and stratigraphic data reveal the tectonic evolution from Jurassic to Late Cretaceous. The presence of evaporite sequence serves as the main decoupling horizon and source of diapiric bodies in the region.

Cenozoic mountain building and topographic evolution in Western Europe: impact of billions of years of lithosphere evolution and plate kinematics

Frederic Mouthereau et al.

Summary: This passage discusses the evolution of the lithosphere in Europe, highlighting the impact of subduction, rifting, and plume inputs on the mantle. It explains the contrast and differences between different crust-mantle and lithosphere-asthenosphere interactions, as well as the long-standing effects on present-day stress, topography, and orogenic deformation. The text also emphasizes the high mantle heat flux in Central Europe, the importance of rifted margins, and the stability of the thermal-mechanical structure of the lithosphere.

Three-dimensional shear velocity structure of the Mauleon and Arzacq Basins (Western Pyrenees)

Maximilien Lehujeur et al.

Summary: The study presents a 3-D shear wave velocity model of the Mauleon and Arzacq Basins, revealing the upper crustal architecture and the relationship between basement and overlying sediments. The models show high velocity anomalies and potential dense deep crustal and mantle rocks in the basin and depth. Major changes from Chainons Bearnais to the western Mauleon Basin are also revealed across orogen-perpendicular structures.

Distribution and intensity of High-Temperature Low-Pressure metamorphism across the Pyrenean-Cantabrian belt: constraints on the thermal record of the pre-orogenic hyperextension rifting

Maxime Ducoux et al.

Summary: The study focuses on rift-related High-Temperature Low-Pressure (HT/LP) metamorphism in the Pyrenean-Cantabrian belt, showing that this metamorphism is restricted to pre- and syn-rift sediments, with early orogenic sediments also affected by high temperatures. The spatial distribution of HT/LP metamorphism along the Pyrenean-Cantabrian belt is depicted in a new map, indicating similar intensity of the metamorphism across different basins and rift-related structural settings.

Decoding low-temperature thermochronology signals in mountain belts: modelling the role of rift thermal imprint into continental collision

Sebastien Ternois et al.

Summary: This study provides insights into the processes involved in orogenesis, especially early inversion, and predicts which domains of rifted margins are accreted during mountain building, using a thermo-mechanical and low-temperature thermochronology modeling approach. The combination of zircon (U-Th)/He and apatite fission-track data is highlighted as valuable for diagnostic investigation of model orogen tectonics. The comparison with natural examples, such as the Pyrenees, supports the findings of the modeling study and offers new insights into the evolution of mountain ranges from rifting to collision.
