Résumé : In this work we combined apatite fission track and biotite/K-feldspar 40Ar/39Ar ages with tectonic data in the west central part of the Axial Zone of the Pyrenees. We discuss the exhumation ages and rates of the Néouvielle, Bordère-Louron, and Bielsa Variscan granites and their relationships with the timing and sequence of south vergent basement thrusting within the Pyrenean orogenic prism. The 40Ar/39Ar ages on K-feldspars from the Néouvielle massif (sample NV7) seem to indicate tectonic movements on the Eaux-Chaudes thrust during the early middle Eocene. Fission track results suggest that the exhumation of the Néouvielle massif occurred around 35 Ma and exhumation of the Bordère-Louron massif around 32 Ma in relation to thrusting on the Gavarnie thrust. The Bielsa massif was exhumed from around 19 Ma by out-of-sequence movements on the Bielsa thrust. We thus show that whereas most of the Pyrenean basement thrust faults (here the Eaux-Chaudes, Gavarnie, and Guarga thrusts) were active in sequence toward the southern foreland from the early Eocene to the earliest Miocene, some of them (here the Bielsa thrust) were activated out of sequence in the hinterland, later than the generally accepted Aquitanian age for the end of the Pyrenean compression. Finally, the apatite fission track modeling indicate a last cooling episode starting around 5 Ma which is most certainly related to the Pliocene reexcavation of the southern and northern flanks of the Pyrenees

Résumé : International audience
Compilation of new and published apatite fission track data along atransect of the west-central Pyrenees shows that exhumation across thePartial Annealing Zone (~120–60°C) started during the mid Eocene inthe North-Pyrenean Zone and migrated southward to reach the southernedge of the Axial Zone during the early Miocene. An early Miocene stageof exhumation is also detected in the northern part of the Axial Zone,indicating a late pop-up thrust reactivation of the Axial Zone.
La compilación de datos nuevos y pre-existentes de huellas de fisión enapatito a lo largo de un perfil de los Pirineos centro-occidentales muestra quela exhumación a través de la Partial Annealing Zone (~120–60°C) comenzó enel Eoceno medio en la Zona Norpirenaica, y fue migrando hacia el sur hastaalcanzar el borde meridional de la Zona Axial en el Mioceno inferior. Al nortede la Zona Axial se registra así mismo una marcada exhumación durante el Miocenoinferior, indicando una reactivación cabalgante en pop-up de la Zona Axial.

Résumé : Combined petrographic study and apatite fission track analysis (apatite FTA) across the Gres d'Annot basin document maximum temperatures reached by this turbiditic sandstone formation, from around 60 degrees C at the SW basin margin up to around 200 degrees C below the Penninic frontal thrust, in relation to burial below the front of Alpine nappes. Increasing diagenetic grade across the basin is primarily expressed by the development of silica transfer by pressure solution and correlated porosity loss. We infer the nappe thickness profile, from the nappe front in the SW up to around 8-10 km in the NE. Apatite FTA dates exhumation of the Gres d'Annot during the Late Miocene, in relation to thrusting of the underlying Argentera and Barrot Palaeozoic massifs. This study illustrates the influence of thrust front propagation on foreland basin diagenesis and exhumation, and highlights potential implications for the evolution of sediment reservoir properties in this context.

Résumé : International audience
We present new apatite (U–Th)/He (AHe), apatite fission track (AFT) and zircon (U–Th)/He (ZHe) data to unravel the timing of exhumation and thrusting in the western Axial Zone of the Pyrenees and the adjacent North Pyrenean Zone (Chaînons Béarnais). In the north, ZHe data yield cooling signals between 26 and 50 Ma in the Chaînons Béarnais, which are consistent with the onset of thrust-related cooling in the neighboring Mauléon Basin modeled by previous authors. Non-reset Triassic ages are found in the footwall of the North Pyrenean Frontal thrust (Aquitaine Basin). To the south, similar ZHe ages in both the hanging wall and footwall of the Lakora thrust record Late Eocene to Oligocene cooling that we attribute to the activity of the Gavarnie thrust. Thermal modeling of samples from the Lakora thrust hanging wall indicates cooling from Early Eocene times, recording activity of the Lakora thrust. Paleozoic detrital samples from the westernmost Axial Zone and from the Eaux-Chaudes and Balaitous–Panticosa granitic plutons yield AFT signals between 20 and 30 Ma and ZHe between 20 and 25 Ma. Modelling indicates fast cooling during this time, which we attribute to the motion of the Guarga thrust. AHe data from these Axial Zone plutons, combined with modelling, show a post-tectonic signal (8–9 Ma), which indicates renewed erosion after a period without major cooling and exhumation between 20 to 10 Ma.

Résumé : International audience
The Jaca basin is a thrust-sheet top basin transported southward andunderlain by basement and cover thrusts separated by a Triassic décollement.Basin-fill upper Cretaceous to lower Oligocene synorogenic sequencesrecord a southward depocenter migration, while growth stratadate a shift of deformation from the mid-Eocene in the N to the earlyMiocene in the S (S-Pyrenean front). However, the deep geometry andkinematic relationships between the cover and basement thrusts remainnon-consensual. We present a new structural and kinematic interpretationfor the eastern Jaca basin, based on subsurface structural maps andcross-sections constructed using industrial seismic reflection profiles.Raman Spectroscopy of Carbonaceous Material (RSCM), vitrinite reflectanceand apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology data givefurther constraints for the restoration of the deformation and burialexhumationsequence. We define 3 main basement thrusts under thenorthern part of the basin, from N to S the Broto, Fiscal and Guargathrusts. The study also clarifies the deep structure of the cover thrustsand their links with these basement thrusts and those located more tothe north in the Axial Zone (AZ), which altogether define the timing ofthe basement thrust sequence as follows : the Lakoura-Eaux Chaudesthrust system (northern AZ) active up to the end Bartonian, the Gavarnie(central AZ) and Broto thrusts during the Priabonian-Rupelian andthe Fiscal and Guarga thrusts during the late Oligocene-early Miocene.AFT results in the basin fill and AZ date the exhumation of the basinto the late Oligocene-early Miocene, in relation to the Fiscal-Guargathrusting. AFT partial reset argues for a maximum burial < 6 km forthe base of the Eocene detrital sequence (Hecho Group turbidites). Bycontrast, RSCM and vitrinite thermometry at the same level indicatesTmax around 180°C, locally up to 240°C, attesting to a temperature anomalypossibly related to transient fluid circulation.

Résumé : In this work on a complete transect of the west‐central Pyrenees, we combine low temperature thermochronology (apatite fission tracks, AFT) with a detailed structural analysis to describe vertical movements related to the thrusting system evolution, and to determine the influence of the latter on the sedimentation/burial/exhumation cycle of thesynorogenic deposits of the southern foreland basin (Jaca and Ainsa basins). AFT analysis from a transect of the south‐Pyrenean basin show the southward decrease of the fission track reset level from the southern edge of the Axial Zone to the South‐Pyreneanfrontal thrust, implying the southwards decrease of the burial amount from more than 5kmin the north to less than 3km in the south assuming an average geothermal gradient of 25°C.km‐1. The structural setting of the Jaca basin attests that the burial of the synorogenicsediments was mainly due to the sedimentary accumulation. AFT data from the northernpart of the basin display a late Oligocene‐early (middle) Miocene cooling event. Newinterpretation of industrial seismic reflection profiles across the Jaca basin suggests that the Oturia thrust is rooted in the Bielsa basement thrust, responsible for the early (‐middle) Miocene out‐of‐sequence tectonic reactivation of the southern flank of the Axial Zone (Jolivet et al., 2007). These results reveal a lower Miocene (Burdigalian ‐?Langhian) out‐of sequence episode of tectonic activity of the interior of the south‐Pyrenean foreland basin. AFT data from the Axial Zone and the North‐Pyrenean Zone confirm the general southwardmigration of the thrusting system, and also bring evidence of the late Oligocene‐lowe rMiocene out‐of‐sequence tectonic reactivation of the northern flank of the Axial Zone. All these results attest of a late Oligocene‐lower Miocene (Burdigalian‐?Langhian) "pop‐up" reactivation of the inner part of the west‐central Pyrenees, younger than the sealing of thesouth‐Pyrenean front (Aquitanian‐?Burdigalian) which is classically considered to mark the end of the Pyrenean compression. These results lead us to propose a new crustal scale evolution model of the west‐central Pyrenees in 3 stages: (i) From the Late Cretaceous to themiddle Eocene, the orogenic prism is characterised by the absence of relief, related to theinversion of Cretaceous extensional structures leading to the accretion of thin crustal units; (ii) The late Eocene‐Oligocene stage corresponds to the continental collision, marked by the creation of important relief associated with the accretion of thick crustal units; (iii) During the early Miocene, the inner part of the Pyrenean wedge is tectonically reactivated.
Ce travail de thèse concerne une transversale complète des Pyrénées centro-occidentales, où on a combiné la thermochronologie basse température (traces de fission sur apatites, TFA) avec une analyse structurale détaillée pour décrire les mouvements verticaux associés à l'évolution du système chevauchant, et pour déterminer l'influence de ce dernier sur le cycle sédimentation/enfouissement/exhumation des dépôts synorogéniques du bassin d'avant‐chaine sud (bassins de Jaca et Ainsa). L'analyse TFA complète les données déjà publiées dans la Zone Axiale et la Zone Nord‐Pyrénéenne, e tconstitue la première étude de ce genre dans un bassin d'avant‐chaîne pyrénéen. Les données TFA sur la transversale du bassin sud‐pyrénéen montrent une diminution vers le sud du degré d'effacement des traces de fission, traduisant la diminution vers le sud de la quantité d'enfouissement, supérieure à 5 km au nord et inférieure à 3 km au sud dans l'hypothèse un géotherme de 25°.km‐1. Le contexte géologique montre que l'enfouissement est principalement lié à l'accumulation des dépôts synorogéniques. Les données TFA de lapartie nord du bassin montrent un refroidissement d'âge Oligocène supérieur‐Miocèneinferieur (moyen). Par ailleurs, une nouvelle interprétation de profils de sismiques réflexiondans le bassin de Jaca montre que le chevauchement d'Oturia s'enracine dans lechevauchement de socle de Bielsa, responsable de l'exhumation tectonique hors‐séquencedu bord sud de la Zone Axiale au Miocène inférieur (‐moyen) (Jolivet et al., 2007). Cesrésultats attestent donc de l'exhumation tectonique hors‐séquence au Miocène inférieur (Burdigalien‐ ?Langhien) de la partie nord du bassin d'avant‐chaine sud‐pyrénéen. Des données TFA obtenues dans la Zone Axiale et la Zone Nord‐Pyrénéenne confirment lamigration générale vers le sud du système chevauchant, et mettent également en évidencela réactivation tectonique hors‐séquence du bord nord de la Zone Axiale à l'Oligocèneterminal‐Miocène inférieur. L'ensemble de ces résultats atteste donc de la réactivation en " pop‐up " de la parties interne des Pyrénées centre‐ouest à l'Oligocène supérieur‐Miocèneinférieur (Burdigalien‐ ?Langhien), postérieurement au scellement du front sud‐pyrénéen (Aquitanien‐ ?Burdigalien) classiquement considéré comme marquant la fin de lacompression pyrénéenne. Ces données nous ont permis de proposer un nouveau modèle d'évolution crustale des Pyrénées centro‐occidentales en 3 grandes étapes : (i) du Crétacé supérieur à l'Eocène moyen, le prisme est caractérisé par une absence de relief, en lien avec l'inversion de structures extensives crétacées conduisant à l'accrétion de petites écailles crustales ; (ii) la période Eocène supérieur‐Oligocène correspond à la collision continentale proprement dite, et est marquée par la création d'importants reliefs associés à l'accrétion d'épaisses unités crustales ; (iii) au Miocène inférieur, la partie interne du prisme pyrénéen est réactivée.

Résumé : International audience
This paper presents a new balanced structural cross-section of the Jaca thrust-sheet-top basin of the southern Pyrenees combined with paleo-thermometry and apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology data. The cross-section, based on field data and interpretation of industrial seismic reflection profiles, allows refinement of previous interpretations of the south-directed thrust system, involving the identification of new thrust faults, and of the kinematic relationships between basement and cover thrusts from the middle Eocene to the early Miocene. AFT analysis shows a southward decrease in the level of fission track resetting, from totally reset Paleozoic rocks and lower Eocene turbidites (indicative of heating to Tmax > ~120 °C), to partially reset middle Eocene turbidites and no/very weak resetting in the upper Eocene-lower Oligocene molasse (Tmax < ~60 °C). AFT results indicate a late Oligocene-early Miocene cooling event throughout the Axial Zone and Jaca Basin. Paleo-maximum temperatures determined by vitrinite reflectance measurements and Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material reach up to ~240 °C at the base of the turbidite succession. Inverse modelling of AFT and vitrinite reflectance data with the QTQt software for key samples show compatibility between vitrinite-derived Tmax and the AFT reset level for most of the samples. However, they also suggest that the highest temperatures determined in the lowermost turbidites correspond to a thermal anomaly rather than burial heating, possibly due to fluid circulation during thrust activity. From these results, we propose a new sequential restoration of the south Pyrenean thrust system propagation and related basin evolution.
