The dome is composed of a magmatite-migmatite core and a low-grade metamorphic envelope of early Paleozoic metasediments and Carboniferous clastics. Its tectonic evolution can be divided into three main stages. The oldest fabric is a subhorizontal foliation, S-1, in migmatites that is subparallel to the magmatic foliation in granitoids and to the greenschist facies schistosity in the enveloping metasediments. This event is interpreted as a result of horizontal deep crustal flow at depths of 20-25 km. The S-1 layering was subsequently transposed into a new foliation, S-2, or affected by open to close upright F-2 folds that are locally truncated by steep walls of diatexites, suggesting influx of partially molten crust into fold cores. The shallow-dipping magmatic foliation in granitoids is locally reworked by vertical magmatic to gneissic S-2 fabrics. Syn-S-2 metamorphic assemblages and synkinematic to postkinematic cordierite point to exhumation of the migmatites and granitoids from 20-25 km to similar to 10 km, and concomitant isobaric heating of the surrounding upper crust. New Ar-40/Ar-39 ages of 350-340 Ma from both the high-grade core and the metamorphic mantle overlap with previously published crystallization ages of 360-340 Ma, suggesting that magmatism and cooling in the upper crust are partly synchronous. Late syn-D-2, S-2-parallel leucogranite sheets crosscutting both the magmatic core and the mantling migmatites either exploit S-2 or crosscut horizontal S-1 fabrics. They are interpreted as brittle expulsion of magma during ongoing syn-D-2 exhumation.
