Abstract
Syntectonic veins have been sampled in thrust fault zones, in the fron tal part of the Sicilian accretionary prism. In these veins, different generations of warm fluids have been trapped in inclusions. The clay mineralogy of the surrounding rocks reveals that the thermal equilibri um was not reached between these clays and the fluids. These results s uggest that warm fluids (originating from deeper zones) have flowed al ong the decollement.
