Abstract
Metamorphic temperatures and ages of the Préalpes Médianes units (Switzerland)
are compared to a simple geometrical thermal modelling using finite
difference method. Even if the used model is simple, the order of
magnitude of maximum temperature ages agreed with available data.
The model confirmed that the internal part of the PM might have reached
250-300ºC. The calculated ages of 26 Ma for the maxi-mum temperature
is found to be compatible with the ages of 27 Ma deduced from illites
dating.
