Is necessary of Argentat
The fault of Argentat , in Corrèze, is recognized like a major accident of the Massif Central French.
It can be followed on the basis of Argentat, a small town of the south of the department of the Corrèze located on the edge of the the Dordogne, until the Plateau of Millevaches appearing in the shape of a rectilinear slope (North-western orientation Northern) in which thread, on the one hand, Souvigne, long river of 18 Kilomètre S which is thrown in the Dordogne right downstream from Argentat and on the other hand the road of Tulle (Corrèze) to Aurillac (Cantal).
In fact, the fault of Argentat is a complex zone of shearing which associates several families of setbacks and the fine structural study makes it possible to detect two different major faults.
The first corresponds to a fault of age Viséen higher (335-337 My) contemporary of the installation of the granites of the Plate of Millevaches. The second corresponds to a corridor of fragile deformation auprès of which we can discover the coal basins of the Hospital and Argentat.
