Abstract
On the western side of the Baie de St Brieuc, the Cadomian domains hav e been subjected to a progressive deformation characterized by a N-S t o NE-SW horizontal shortening within the St Brieuc domain and by an ex tensional asymmetric dome within the Guingamp domain. Along the contac t between the two domains, a leucogranite emplaced during deformation combining extension and dextral wrenching.
