Although many studies have dealt with markedly different fold orientations and associated cleavage-fold relationships within individual, single-phase deformed fold belts, there are very few descriptions of possible gradual, transitional fold geometries. The Lower Cambrian steep core of the singlephase deformed Brabant Massif contains steeply plunging, west-facing folds with a Z-shaped asymmetry, whereas the Ordovician-Silurian southern rim consists of gently plunging, upward facing folds. A gradual transition is observed between these end-member orientations, in a NW-SE-trending zone 1-1.5 km wide, in which the folds appear to be strongly curvilinear and locally downward facing. The structural geometries within this transition zone are described in detail and the geometric changes analysed in the light of the fold transition. The strongly variable fold orientations are tentatively attributed to a bulk oblate tectonic strain. The transition zone overlies an aeromagnetic lineament, classically interpreted as a dextral shear zone. The steeply plunging folds, the transition zone and the aeromagnetic lineaments are all attributed to a local dextral transpression, in which deformation is partitioned both vertically and laterally. The results indicate that within zones of heterogeneous transpression, the different deformation domains are not necessarily always fault bounded.

“…As part of the "AngloBrabant Deformation Belt", the Brabant Massif is currently considered to be situated above the boundary of two lithospheric blocks, the Midlands Microcraton to the SW and the Southern North Sea -Lüneberg Terrane to the NE ( Fig. 1A; Verniers et al, 2002a;Sintubin & Everaerts, 2002;Sintubin et al, 2009).…”

ABSTRACT. As a result of the "new geological map of Wallonia" program undertaken by the Walloon Government since 1990, all the maps at 1/25 000 scale covering the outcrop areas of the Brabant Massif have been finalised. During the long period of mapping our understanding of the stratigraphy and tectonics of the Brabant Massif has evolved significantly and this led to several inconsistencies between different maps. We present here an overarching geological map of the outcrop areas of the Brabant Massif, resulting from the merging of these 21 maps, updated according to the most recent findings and insights. The resulting map, at a scale of ~1/200 000, shows a coherent image of the outcrop areas of the Brabant Massif. This map better illustrates the geological history and structural architecture of the Brabant Massif compared to previous maps (e.g. Fourmarier, 1921;Legrand, 1968) and allows for a better understanding of the geology of the Brabant Massif. Also, it fully complements the subcrop map of the Brabant Massif of Piessens et al. (2005, in prep.).
