Earth's continental crust is dominantly made of buoyant, felsic igneous material (granitoids), that was ultimately extracted from the mantle as a result of Earth's differentiation. Since felsic …
The late stages of the Variscan orogeny are characterized by middle to lower crustal melting and intrusion of voluminous granitoids throughout the belt, which makes it akin to “hot” …
Flow of partially molten crust controlling construction, growth and collapse of the Variscan orogenic belt: the geologic record of the French Massif CentralImpact du fluage de la croûte …

New experiments on the strongly peraluminous, Li-, P-and F-rich Beauvoir granite (Massif Central, France) provide a basis for understanding crystallization and chemical fractionation …
Sediment provenance studies utilizing detrital geochronology are often limited by source‐ rock non‐uniqueness with respect to mineral age. Thus, the development of integrated …

Experiments were conducted to explore the behavior of Li, Rb, Nb, Sn, Cs, Ta, W during crustal melting and test the anatectic origin of rare metal-bearing peraluminous granites …
The main event responsible for the deposition of tungsten at Panasqueira was closely associated with strong tourmalinization of the wall rocks. Tourmaline is coeval with a W-rich …
We present U-Pb thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) ages of wolframite from several granite-related hydrothermal W±Sn deposits in the French Massif Central (FMC) …
The Velay anatectic dome in the Variscan French Massif Central exposes a low-pressure– high-temperature metamorphic sequence, which represents an ideal natural laboratory for …
