Au NE d’un axe constitué par l’anticlinal de Marinet, donc dans la partie nord-orientale de la zone briançonnaise et dans la zone piémontaise, le métamorphisme prend une importance croissante : le caractère pénétratif de la déformation s’intensifie en même temps que s’accroît la cristallisation [...] 3, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9tamorphisme%20p%C3%A9n%C3%A9tratif

Le terrain de Natashquan, secteur oriental de la Province de Grenville, se distingue en tout premier lieu par la préservation partielle du Groupe de Wakeham, une séquence épicontinentale du Mésoprotérozoïque précoce(~1. 5 Ga). Cette séquence a été partiellement démembrée lors de la mise en place des nombreux filons-couches de gabbro de la Suite de La Robe-Noire il y a ~1. 18 Ga, avant d’être reprise par le métamorphisme régional qui a accompagné la formation de la fosse synclinale de Davy et la structuration des terrains gneissiques avoisinants dont le Complexe de Boulain. 4, record 2, French, - s%C3%A9quence%20de%20plate%2Dforme%20continentale
