Abstract:High- to ultrahigh-pressure (HP–UHP) rocks recording high-temperature (HT) > 700 °C are well exposed in the Central Alps, making it an ideal region to study the timing of metamorphic stages and the mechanisms of deep-seated rocks exhumation. Here, we report an integrated dataset of petrological and U–(Th–)Pb dating of metapelites surrounding ultramafic lenses from the Cima Lunga unit. At the interface with ultramafics preserving (U)HP–HT assemblages (1.5–3.1 GPa, 650–850 °C), metapelites record higher P‒T v… Show more
