“…Calcite twins have been considered for a long time as common stress/strain markers, and their analyses have been widely used to constrain the structural and kinematic evolution of orogenic forelands, e.g., Sevier and Appalachian forelands: Craddock and Van der Pluijm (1999); Northern Pyrenean foreland: Tourneret and Laurent (1990), Rocher et al (2000); Southern Pyrenean foreland: Gonzales-Casado and Garcia-Cuevas (1999), Holl and Anastasio (1995); Subalpine chain : Ferrill and Groshong (1993); Taiwan: Lacombe et al (1993Lacombe et al ( , 1996a, Rocher et al (1996), Hung and Kuo (1999); Hudson valley fold-thrust belt: Harris and Van der Pluijm (1998); Zagros: Lacombe et al (2007). These studies have led to regionally significant reconstructions of tectonic stress and strain patterns, and, in few cases, to the quantification of differential stresses associated with folding and thrusting.…”

Résumé -Les macles de la calcite, un outil pour les études tectoniques dans les chaînes plissées et les avant-pays peu déformés des orogènes -Les macles de la calcite sont utilisées depuis longtemps comme indicateurs de paléocontraintes et comme marqueurs de la déformation finie, en orientations comme en grandeurs. Au cours des 15 dernières années, des améliorations importantes des méthodes d'analyses existantes ont été réalisées et ont donné lieu à de nouvelles applications dans les chaînes plissées et les avant-pays peu déformés des orogènes. Cet article résume le principe des méthodes les plus utilisées en tectonique et illustre quelques apports de l'analyse des macles de la calcite pour la caractérisation non seulement des orientations et des grandeurs des paléocontraintes et de la déformation finie, mais également dans une certaine mesure de la paléotempérature et du paléoenfouissement. Cette revue se fonde en grande partie sur les études régionales que j'ai effectuées dans des contextes géologiques variés, comme les avant-pays des chaînes de Taiwan, des Pyrénées, du Zagros, des Rocheuses et des Albanides. Cet article discutera également la contribution de l'étude des macles de la calcite à la compréhension de la transmission des contraintes orogéniques en domaine intraplaque. Abstract -Calcite Twins, a Tool for Tectonic Studies in Thrust Belts and Stable OrogenicForelands -Calcite twins have been used for a long time as indicators of stress/strain orientations and magnitudes. Recent developments during the last 15 years point toward significant improvements of existing techniques as well as new applications of calcite twin analysis in thrust belts and forelands. This paper summarizes the principles of the most common techniques in this tectonic field and illustrates some aspects of the use of calcite twins to constrain not only stress/strain orientations and magnitudes, but also to some extent paleotemperature or paleoburial in orogenic forelands. This review is based in a large part on the studies that I conducted in various geological settings such as the forelands of Taiwan, Pyrenees, Zagros, Rockies and Albanides orogens. The contribution of calcite twin analysis to the understanding of the intraplate stress transmission away from plate boundaries is also emphasized.

Tectonothermal history of an exhumed thrust‐sheet‐top basin: An example from the south Pyrenean thrust belt

et al. 2016

This paper presents a new balanced structural cross section of the Jaca thrust‐sheet‐top basin of the southern Pyrenees combined with paleothermometry and apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology data. The cross section, based on field data and interpretation of industrial seismic reflection profiles, allows refinement of previous interpretations of the south directed thrust system, involving the identification of new thrust faults, and of the kinematic relationships between basement and cover thrusts from the middle Eocene to the early Miocene. AFT analysis shows a southward decrease in the level of fission track resetting, from totally reset Paleozoic rocks and lower Eocene turbidites (indicative of heating to Tmax > ~120°C), to partially reset middle Eocene turbidites and no/very weak resetting in the upper Eocene‐lower Oligocene molasse (Tmax < ~60°C). AFT results indicate a late Oligocene‐early Miocene cooling event throughout the Axial Zone and Jaca Basin. Paleomaximum temperatures determined by vitrinite reflectance measurements and Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material reach up to ~240°C at the base of the turbidite succession. Inverse modeling of AFT and vitrinite reflectance data with the QTQt software for key samples show compatibility between vitrinite‐derived Tmax and the AFT reset level for most of the samples. However, they also suggest that the highest temperatures determined in the lowermost turbidites correspond to a thermal anomaly rather than burial heating, possibly due to fluid circulation during thrust activity. From these results, we propose a new sequential restoration of the south Pyrenean thrust system propagation and related basin evolution.
