Structural development of a high-pressure collisional accretionary wedge: The Samaná complex, Northern Hispaniola

► Shape of P-T path of tectonic nappes indicate cooling and decompression in the blueschist facies during D2 deformation. ► Syn-D2 tectonometamorphic evolution occur since the beginning of accretion of each nappe to accretionary wedge. ► Nappe incorporation to the overriding plate implies a jump in the basal thrust towards the foreland. ► Samaná complex represents an accretionary wedge built during subduction and collision.
