The Penninic thrustfront is a major tectonic in the French Alps. The thrustfront moves over a developing decollement horizon, and separates the (internal) high grade metamorphic rocks of the Penninic nappes from the (external) sedimentary rocks and crystalline basement of the Helvetic nappes. The last are in France often called zone Dauphiné or Dauphinois. Thrusting over the decollement horizon continues today, as the Apulian tectonic plate moves westward, converging with the European plate.

  • Dans les Alpes occidentales, le front pennique, également dénommé chevauchement pennique frontal, est le chevauchement qui juxtapose les unités internes, métamorphiques (Mont Rose, Grand Paradis, Dora Maira...) sur les unités externes non métamorphiques (massifs cristallins externes, massifs subalpins). Il fonctionne aujourd'hui localement comme une faille normale et/ou comme un décrochement dextre. (fr)

  • Il Fronte Pennidico è un lineamento tettonico che separa il dominio Pennidico dal dominio Elvetico nelle Alpi.Il lineamento separa quindi le rocce ad alto grado metamorfico, che si trovano all'interno della catena (a sud del lineamento), dal basamento cristallino e dalle rocce sedimentarie che si trovano verso l'esterno (a nord del lineamento). A causa del moto di convergenza della placca adriatica verso la placca euroasiatica il lineamento è ancora attivo. (it)
