Following publication of the original article (Ricchi et al. 2020), multiple typesetting errors were identified in the article. The updated sections/sentences are given below and the changes have been highlighted in bold typeface.
Keywords
208Pb/232Th fissure monazite age, Western Alps, High pressure, Argentera Massif, Tectonic activity, Hydrothermal monazite chemistry.
Introduction
In monazite-bearing fissures, quartz and adularia typically form at an early stage of fissure formation (< 500–450 °C), whereas monazite crystallizes at later stages (between 400 and 200 °C) (e.g. Gnos et al. 2015).
Methods
In situ Th–Pb dating of five monazite grains was carried out at the SwissSIMS Ion microprobe facility, equipped with a Cameca IMS 1280 HR instrument, at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland (Table 3).
Since fissure monazite is dissolved and re-precipitated under changing chemical conditions (e.g. Grand’Homme et al. 2018), spot analyses affected by Pbc (as indicated by older dates related to higher Pbc, i.e. positive age-f208 correlation), or those with high uncertainty (1σ absolute > 1) were removed from the dataset.
Top‑NNW thrusting (> 35 Ma)
The oldest fissure monazite age of the Western Alps is recorded at ~ 36 Ma by BALZI2 grain from the Briançonnais Zone (Figs. 1 and 6) and is interpreted to be related to Late Eocene—earliest Oligocene top-NNW thrusting (episode (1); Table 2) which started at or before 38 Ma (Cardello et al. 2019).
