First in situ calcite U–Pb dating revealing the past episodes of the 2019 Le Teil Earthquake (France) by Gébelin, Aude, Matonti, Christophe, Larroque, Christophe, Carr, Patrick, Ampuero, Jean-Paul

“…In agreement with relative chronology data based on microstructural observations, our results allow us to define four main tectonic events: A first event from ~90 to 75 interpreted to reflect a thermal subsidence at the regional scale (Ardèche—South-East basin of France), a second event bracketed between ~60 to 50 Ma related to the N–S trending shortening of the South-East basin, a third tectonic event dated from ~40 to 37 Ma that we interpret to reflect the opening of the Gulf of Lion and European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS), and a fourth and final event at ~25 Ma that very likely represents a middle to late stage of the ECRIS. …”
