geology

Parautochthonous mica slate from Le Theillaud

The municipality of Marval lies entirely on the crystalline, Variscan basement of the north-western Massif Central , which forms a bulge here - the Saint-Mathieu-Dom . The cathedral structure is characterized by the Saint-Mathieu leukogranite , which penetrated into the mica slate of the parautochthonous mica slate unit in the Upper Carboniferous . In the southwest the Piégut-Pluviers-Granodiorit is still pending - mainly in its coarse-grained normal facies, but around the Étang de Ballerand also in red, aplitic porphyry facies . The contact zone between the two granitoids is designed as fine-grain facies on both sides and runs right through the center of the village.

The mica schist appear in small, isolated, partly westvergent folded occurrences within the Leukogranits at Le Courtieux , La Lardie , Le Mazelier and La Vilotte and contiguous to the southeast to Le Theillaud and northeast to Larmat . They have been changed contact-metamorphically by the leucogranite (appearance of cordierite ). Their regional degree of metamorphosis corresponds to the albite and oligoclase zones . The foliation of the mica schist sweeps north to north-northeast and falls with 40 to 60 ° to the east one, stretching Linear on the foliation plane show predominantly east-southeast gen. In the northern section near Larmat , the foliation swings in the north-northwest direction.

Courses of micro granite by pulling the two Granitoids with predominantly north-west to north-westerly direction of strike .
