Geodynamic setting and deformation history of an Archaean terrane at mid-crustal level: The Tasiusarsuaq terrane of southern West Greenland

► Archaean granulites from an orogenic margin in a compressive regime. ► Thrusting of granulites on a rigid foreland. ► Insignificant exhumation in the Archaean. ► Post-collisional extension is uncommon for the exhumation of Archaean granulites.
