An integrated interpretation of the late Paleozoic structural and geochronological record of
the Iberian Massif is presented and discussed under the perspective of a Gondwana …

NW Iberia includes a rather complete section of a Variscan suture, where different terranes
with continental or oceanic affinities appear with clear structural relationships. Three groups …

The early evolution of SW Europe Variscides started by opening of the Rheic ocean at∼ 500
Ma, splitting Avalonia from Armorica/Iberia. Subduction on the SE side of Rheic generated …

Recent advances in geochemical studies of igneous rocks, isotopic age data for magmatism
and metamorphism, quantitative pressure-temperature (PT) estimates of metamorphic …

Inclined transpression can be defined in terms of simultaneous contraction and strike-slip
and dip-slip shearing, and is illustrated here using a strain triangle in which the apices …

A regional study starting from detailed geological mapping has been carried out in the
Malpica‐Tui Complex of Galicia in NW Spain. The complex is formed by two units …

Electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to measure the crystal preferred
orientations (CPOs) from 101 samples across the ultrahigh-pressure Western Gneiss region …

A standard procedure in kinematic analyses of deformed rocks is studying samples only on
the foliation perpendicular/lineation parallel section based on the assumption that the …

Quartz c-axis fabrics, vorticity of flow and deformation temperatures were analyzed in
samples collected in the central sector of the Variscan inner zone in Sardinia (Italy). In order …

Abstract The Equotip Hardness Tester is applied to different types of quartz and other lithic
raw materials in order to determine if variations in the rebound hardness measured by this …
