International audienceStructural and microstructural analyses are carried out in two sites of the Argentera-Mercantour Massif, Valscura and Val du Haut Boréon, where swarms of lamprophyres intruded into Variscan migmatites and early Permian granitoids. Efforts aim at defining the structural relationships between lamprophyres and country rocks, and at constraining the structural and metamorphic evolution the dykes record. Mesoscale structural data are synthesised in geologic maps originally surveyed at 1/10 000 scale, supported by form-surface maps at 1/100 scale. The lamprophyres are magnesian, calc-alkalic to alkali-calcic, and metaluminous; they emplaced at very shallow crustal levels intersecting three generations of ductile structures i...
