Model of successive granite sheet emplacement in transtensional setting: Integrated microstructural and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility study

Abstract

This study presents a model of successive emplacement of three granite plutons in transtensional deformation regime controlled by the preextensional synconvergent history of the lower and middle crust in the central Vosges Mountains ( France).
