Les sous-provinces de La Grande et d'Opinaca sont un couple comprenant un ensemble volcano-plutonique (La Grande) auquel est adjoint au sud une sous-province méta-sédimentaire de plus haut grade métamorphique (Opinaca). Il s'agit d'une association typique du Supérieur archéen, avec certaines particularités géométriques et métamorphiques. Alors que l'accrétion d'un prisme sédimentaire est une interprétation géodynamique favorisée, des environnements extensifs ont également été proposés. Des bandes méta-sédimentaires semblables de part et d'autres du contact permettent leur étude tectonométamorphique comparative par pétrographie, géochronologie et thermobarométrie. L'analyse de zircons détritiques révèle une déposition de sédiments simultanée (<2690-2700 Ma) d'une source dominante ca. 2720 Ma. La sédimentation est rapidement suivie d'un métamorphisme de haute température dans l'Opinaca (M1,750-850°C, <2-3 kbar) et d'un métamorphisme analogue localement attesté dans le La Grande. La fusion partielle s'étend sur 2685-2670 Ma (U-Pb zircon), liée géographiquement et chronologiquement à de l'important plutonisme felsique. La cristallisation du grenat dans l'Opinaca (Lu-Hf 2650 Ma) s'effectue dans un cycle métamorphique postérieur (M2, 700°C, 5-6 kbar), qui n'est pas attestée dans La Grande, impliquant un découplage tectonique. Dans la sous-province de La Grande, des datations de zircon et monazite (U-Pb<2620 Ma) et la croissance de grenat (Lu-Hf 2600 Ma) pointent vers un événement métamorphique tardif (M3,600°C, 5-6 kbar), de plus grande importance que précédemment reconnu. Cette croissance du grenat lors d'évènements secondaires de moins haute température se répercute par un déséquilibre pétrographique etthermodynamique croissant avec le grade métamorphique. Le contexte tectonique impliqué est une dépositionautochtone des sédiments de l'Opinaca et de ses équivalents marginaux du La Grande dans un bassinextensif au-dessus d'une anomalie thermique (M1), suivie d'une fermeture du bassin de l'Opinaca (M2) et d'un enfouissement tardif du La Grande (M3). Tous les évènements recensés post-datent le métamorphisme du socle et des bandes volcaniques.

This is atypical association in the Archean Superior craton, but with notable differences regarding geometry andmetamorphic intensity. While accretion of a sedimentary prism is an often favoured geodynamic interpretation,extensional settings have also been proposed. Meta-wacke bands in the La Grande similar to the Opinacamigmatites warrant study of their comparative tectono-metamophic evolution through petrography,geochronology and thermobarometry. Detrital zircon study reveals coeval deposition (<2690-2700 Ma) from adominating ca. 2720 Ma source. Sedimentation was quickly followed by widespread high temperaturemetamorphism in the Opinaca (M1, 750-850°C, <2-3 kbar) and analogous locally attested metamorphism inthe La Grande. Anatexis spanned 2685-2670 Ma (U-Pb zircon), tied both geographically and chronologically toimportant felsic plutonism. Garnet growth in the Opinaca (Lu-Hf 2650 Ma) followed in a posterior distinctmetamorphic cycle (M2, 700°C, 5-6 kbar), unattested in La Grande meta-wackes, implying tectonicdecoupling. In the La Grande subprovince, cryptic zircon and monazite ages (U-Pb <2620 Ma) and garnetgrowth (Lu-Hf 2600 Ma) point to a late metamorphic event of greater importance than previously recognized(M3, 600°C, 5-6 kbar). Growing thermodynamic disequilibrium is observed in pseudosections withprogressively higher peak temperatures, which is interpreted as partial reactivity of M1 parageneses when remetamorphosed to M2 or M3. The tectonic context implied is a non-exotic deposition of the Opinaca and its LaGrande marginal equivalents in an extensional basin over a high heat anomaly (M1) followed by basin closure(M2) and late burial of La Grande rocks (M3). All these events postdate the main metamorphism anddeformation in La Grande basement and volcanic rocks.

The Tatric crystalline unit of the Western Carpathians in northern Slovakia displays an inverted metamorphic sequence where high-grade migmatite and orthogneiss units are overlying lower-grade mica schists. Enclosed within the migmatites are lenses of eclogite-bearing amphibolites. Conventional geothermobarometry coupled with isochemical modeling constrained P-T paths that exhibit contrasting metamorphic histories for rock units that are now heterogeneously interleaved. Relict eclogite facies assemblages with occasionally preserved omphacite record post-peak pressure conditions of 1.7-1.8 GPa followed by near isothermal decompression at ~750 °C leading to intensive re-equilibration of eclogites at high-pressure granulite facies conditions and development of diopside + plagioclase symplectitic textures. New ID-TIMS Sm-Nd dating of garnet separated from the omphacite-bearing eclogite yields a whole rock-garnet isochron age of 337 ± 10 Ma, with an epsilon Nd isotopic composition of +8.3. While major element profiles across the garnets display little variation, the trace element distribution shows a typical HREE enrichment profile and a slight core to rim disparity with LREE and MREE concentrations higher in the cores and higher HREE in the rims. Granulite-facies migmatites that host the eclogite boudins record lower pressure metamorphic conditions of 1.2 GPa at ~750 °C and a similar retrograde path. The lower-grade micaschists reached metamorphic conditions of 0.8 GPa at ~650 °C. Monazite U-Pb analysis from a migmatite surrounding the eclogite boudins yields one population of ca. 380 Ma age. Another migmatite away from the eclogite yields two populations monazite ages. A robust 340 ± 11 Ma monazite U-Pb age is indistinguishable from our garnet age and U-Pb SIMS age of zircons in the anatectic leucosome of the migmatite (347 ± 7 Ma). We interpret the ca. 340 Ma ages to represent the exhumation of the deep crustal root of the Variscan orogen into the middle crust coeval with anatexis. A younger monazite U-Pb age of 300 ± 16 Ma is consistent with 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology data of ca. 310 Ma that is likely indicative of the Late Carboniferous I-type magmatism and cooling in the Tatric block. Cooling rates calculated by garnet diffusion modeling yield estimates of ~30 °/Ma. This exhumation was likely tectonically forced by the action of a rigid indentor which prompted the weak lower crust to be heterogeneously extruded to mid-crustal levels at a time coeval with anatexis and subsequently extruded with mid-crustal material to the upper crust.

The Åreskutan nappe complex consists of the partly molten rock migmatite, which originates from the subduction formed by the collision of continents Baltica and Laurentia. It is a so-called hot nappe, which has been deeply buried in the subduction zone, based on findings of high-pressure minerals in the migmatitic gneiss. As the nappe returned to shallower depths the rock was partially molten during the subsequent exhumation as the lithostatic pressure decreased. Tectonic forces led to thrusting of the nappe towards the east and the building of mount Åreskutan. It is generally accepted that the shear zone between the migmatite of the Åreskutan Nappe and the underlying Lower Seve Nappe is a mylonitic shear zone, but the question of whether similar shear zones can be found at other sites in the migmatite complex has now been raised. In this project two major shear zones have been identified and shear direction has been determined after detailed geological mapping. Many small shear zones have also been identified, but their sense of shear direction was more difficult to determine. The two major shear zones identified have been labelled the Eastern Major Shear Zone and Western Major Shear Zone. In these shear zones the original migmatite appearing on Åreskutan is deformed and sheared with a top to the east sense of shear. The strongest evidence for determining the shear sense are garnets found mantled by micas in a sigma-type shear microstructures, found during microscope analysis. A grade of mylonitization can be seen in the mineral microstructures, with the most fine-grained matrix in the centre of the shear zones. It indicates that ductile deformation dominates, even though some minerals tend to break in a brittle manner.
