p. 65: (Retro-)eclogitized pyroxenites, lherzolites and N-MORB-type basalts are outcropping in the Lake Cornu area (Aiguilles Rouges). Paquette et al. (1989) interpreted an upper intercept U-Pb zircon age of 453 +2/-3 Ma as a magmatic crystallization age. These rocks were derived from a depleted mantle source (initial ε Nd = +6). They have been originally thought to be emplaced in a thinned continental crust associated with the initial stages of oceanic rifting (Paquette et al., 1989) and more recently to be emplaced in a back-arc setting associated with an active continental margin (Dobmeier et al., 1999). The latter interpretation is supported by the contemporaneous intrusion of several granites of calc-alkaline (Itype) or peraluminous (S-type) character, as expected in an active continental (or island-arc) margin.
