Abstract
A major and trace element geochemical study has been made of the Brioverian volcanic rocks in the NW of Brittany. They are compared with recent and modern volcanic rocks to identify their magmatic characteristics and thus to relate them to different tectonic contexts and integrate them into an overall geodynamic interpretation.Keywords
