Abstract

The Mt. Mucrone metagranitoid is an extensively investigated intrusive Permian body, located in the Eclogitic Micaschists Complex of the Sesia-Lanzo Zone, within the high-pressure metamorphic belt of the Western Alps formed during the Alpine plate convergence. The structure of the northwestern sector of Mt. Mucrone, including both the metagranitoids and country rocks, has been mapped, although an integrated structural and petrological analysis is still lacking in its southwestern sector, a topic investigated in this contribution. During the field structural analysis, six groups of ductile structures were recognized to have evolved as follows: the D1 and D2 fabrics took place under eclogite-facies, D3 under blueschist-facies and D4 to D6 under greenschist-facies conditions, respectively. Foliation trajectories revealing the chronology of the superposed structures are represented in the analytical (drift and solid) and interpretative (solid) maps, both at a 1:10,000 scale, and a panel of structural cross-sections allows the 3D representation of the poly-deformed lithostratigraphy. The related metamorphism indicates the changes within the subduction-collision tectonic frame.
