Kinematics of the Helminthoid Flysch–Marguareis Unit tectonic coupling: consequences for the tectonic evolution of Western Ligurian Alps

We investigated the kinematics of the coupled Helminthoid Flysch–Marguareis Unit outcropping in the High Tanaro Valley in order to constraint the tectonic evolution of the Western Ligurian Alps. Field mapping highlights a tectonic pile composed of, from top to bottom: the Marguareis Unit (Briançonna...
