Geological magazine : Vol. 121 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1984Summary: A major ductile shear zone in the gneissic core of the Saint-Barthélemy Massif, central Pyrenees, is characterized by an asymmetric shear strain profile defined as mylonite-dominated footwall geometry. The shear zone is part of a low angle fault system in the massif which caused thinning of a sequence of lithologic units and isograds. The shear zone is interpreted as a low angle normal fault zone of probably Cretaceous age, predating Alpine crustal shortening in the central Pyrenees
