Bonsoir Matthieu ! J'arrive seulement.
Je ne vois pas un granite tombant du ciel, mais un granite intrusif qui a eu largement le temps de subir les effets de l'érosion…
Je vais lire ça tranquilement (mais pas ce soir, mon président m'attend…), pas de chance : " Mont Blanc and Aiguilles Rouges Géology of their polymetamorphic basement (…) " de von Raumer et Bussy (2004), qui m'est davantage familier, ne dépasse que très peu le lac Cornu… un peu éloigné, donc, la zone couverte par le sujet qui t'intrigue.
Ce n'est donc plus du granite de Vallorcine qu'il est question, mais du granite de Pormenaz et de celui des Montées Pélissier…
Édit : J'ai alors un court élément de réponse :
The 330 Ma magmatic pulse:
The oldest group of Variscan granitoids is represented by the 330 Ma magmatic pulse, characterized by high-K calc-alkaline to shosoonitic plutons, which are documented in the southwestern part of the Aiguilles-Rouges massif by the Pormenaz monzonite (333 ± 2 Ma, Bussy et al., 1988a, 2000). …
• Monzonitic-durbachitic rocks
These rocks are best represented by the Pormenaz monzonite, a 1,4 by 2,5 km porphyritic funnel-shaped mass in vertical cross-section, whici intruded amphibolite-facies metamorphic rocks and Lower Carboniferous metagraywackes (Délitroz 1 Fellay 1997) in the Servoz-Les Houches region. Although a complex contact relationship led Laurent (1973 a, b ) to infer a metasomatic origin, the shape and internal structures of the intrusion rather suggest a syntectonic emplacement of the magma and post-cristallization mylonitic deformation along a long-lasting dextral transpressive fault. The main facies is a porphyritic to equigranular monzonite with large pink or white K-feldspar megacryst (up to 4 cm) in a dark gray-green amphibole-rich matrix. Euhedral cristal of brown sphene are clearly visible on hand specimen. Plurimetric bodies of durbachites (Holub 1977 ; Rock 1991) are found as dark green, equigranular, magmatic enclaves. …
• Montées-Pélisier granite
The Montées-Pélisier granite is a vertical, 3 km-long by 500 m-wide sheet-like pluton in tectonic contact with its country-rock. A transgressive regime induced subhorizontal movements with extreme elongation, subsequently reoriented into subvertical displacements (Dobmeier 1998). The granite intruded syntectonically along ductile shearzones during the transcurrent stage and recorded the subsequent vertical movements during cooling (Dobmeier 1996). Primary magmatic flow fabrics are mostly surimposed by low-T ductile to brittle deformation. The Montées-Pélissier granite is a fine-grained foliated two-mica monzogranite, which hosts rare biotite-rich restites, mafic microgranular enclaves and biotote-bearing lamprophyres. …"
Je pense que ces quelques extraits de l'ouvrage cité répondront aux diverses questions (les tiennes et celles de Serge, en particulier).
