CONT

[...] Richard et al. (1979) ont préconisé un modèle à saumure de bassin dans lequel la migration des fluides minéralisateurs est associée à des mouvements de nappes structurales dans les Calédonides. Ils supposent que la compression exercée par les nappes chevauchantes représente le principal agent ayant entraîné l'écoulement des fluides minéralisateurs vers l'est.
