Analysis of cooling age patterns yielded by low‐temperature thermochronometers provides key information about the role played tectonic discontinuities during late stages exhumation metamorphic belts. In Western Alps, fission track data published so far are heterogeneously scattered and concentrated in few structural domains, preventing analyses at scale whole belt. The new apatite reported this work, obtained with external detector method as well population very low U content samples, fill...
In northern Calabria (Italy), the metasedimentary succession of Lungro–Verbicaro tectonic unit preserves mineral assemblages suggesting underthrusting to depths in excess 40 km. Internal deformation these rocks occurred continuously during following decompression. Index composition associated with progressively younger fabrics indicates that a substantial part structural evolution took place within blueschist-facies P – T field. Despite their and metamorphic history, Unit preserve...
ABSTRACT The European Alps are a mountain belt that is characterized by series of discrete orogenic events, which have long been recognized. Despite the inherent episodic nature evolution, continuously exhumed, mainly erosion, but also normal faulting. Since continental collision started in late Eocene/Early Oligocene evidence for ongoing erosional exhumation has preserved synorogenic sediments accumulated basins adjacent to pro‐ and retro‐side this double‐vergent belt. This long‐term...

Abstract The Cenozoic growth history of the northeast (NE) Tibetan Plateau has been strongly debated in past few years with three deformation models being proposed: progressive northeastward propagation, out‐of‐sequence deformation, and episodic deformation. Reconstruction long‐term exhumation different blocks can help elucidate pattern tectonic processes involved formation Plateau. Both Qaidam Jiuquan basins—the two largest basins NE Plateau—contain continuous well‐exposed successions...

In the southern Apennines, low-temperature thermochronometry data indicate that exhumation of previous tectonically buried sedimentary units started at around 10 Ma and took place mostly during last 6 Ma. Relatively high rates are obtained from apatite fission track (AFT) (U-Th)/He (AHe) analysis, pointing to a substantial contribution tectonic processes rock besides erosion. Exhumation derived new for 3 generally lower than determined by AFT almost in line with erosion inferred cosmogenic...
Indentation of rigid blocks into rheologically weak orogens is generally associated with spatiotemporally variable vertical and lateral block extrusion. The European Eastern Southern Alps are a prime example microplate indentation, where most the deformation was accommodated north crustal indenter within Tauern Window. However, outside this window only broad late-stage exhumation pattern indented units as well itself known. In study we refine exhumational new (U–Th–Sm)/He fission-track...

In the Northern Apennines foreland, Marnoso-arenacea Formation (MA Fm) records post-depositional burial temperatures overlapping with those of zone partial annealing apatite fission tracks. Because stratigraphy, sedimentology, petrography and structural evolution this turbidite succession has been intensively studied over last 40 years, MA Fm provides an ideal case to apply fission-track method. The data show a general decrease maximum paleotemperature undergone by samples toward foreland...
