The non-cylindrical character of the Variscan Belt is established via a description of its most
salient geological characteristics and correlations among the main and relatively minor …

Continental lithosphere is modified over eons in response to large-scale tectonic processes,
such as rifting and collisions. The lithospheric mantle beneath central Iberia was affected by …

We propose that the 495-470 Ma Ollo de Sapo magmatism in the Iberian Massif was the
result of a mantle plume event in the Furongian-Early Ordovician. This plume was located …

Abstract The late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian interval is characterized by global-scale
orogenesis, rapid continental growth and profound changes in Earth systems. Orogenic …

In an attempt to clarify the significance of Pb model ages in Pb-Zn sedimentary deposits, we
report high-precision Pb isotopic compositions for 64 galenas and 52 K-feldspars, the former …

Abstract Middle to Upper Ordovician ironstone and associated sedimentary rocks of the
West Asturian‐Leonese and Cantabrian tectonostratigraphic zones, Spain, provide new …

A geochemical comparison of early Palaeozoic felsic magmatic episodes throughout the
south-western European margin of Gondwana is made and includes (i) Furongian–Early …

U–Pb ages of zircon from samples of tonalite and migmatite from the Central Iberian Zone
(Spain) previously assigned to the Carboniferous were obtained using a sensitive high …

Abstract The Variscan Orogen in Iberia and the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco contains a
set of ophiolites formed between Neoproterozoic and Devonian times, during the complex …

Foraminifera have been used to revise the biostratigraphy of all known Mississippian
outcrops in Morocco cited either as early Viséan (or its equivalent V2a or V2a/b …
