The Variscides of Europe and N-Africa are the result of the convergence of the plates of
Gondwana and Laurussia in the Paleozoic. This orogen is characterized by the juxtaposition …

Abstract Distinctive uppermost Ediacaran–Ordovician rocks (Avalonian overstep sequence)
were key in definition of Avalonia, which comprises large areas of the NE Appalachians and …

The tectonics, dynamics, and biogeographic landscape of the early Paleozoic were
dominated by the opening and expansion of one large ocean—the Rheic—and the …

We present a statistical approach to data mining and quantitatively evaluating detrital age
spectra for sedimentary provenance analyses and palaeogeographic reconstructions …

Abstract West and East Ganderia in the northern Appalachians and Caledonides,
respectively, represent a Gondwanan superterrane situated along the Tornquist margin of …

Abstract Iberia, Avalonia and the “Armorican” terranes form key constituents of the Variscan–
Appalachian orogen, but their Neoproterozoic origins along the northern Gondwanan …

The formation of major granite-hosted Sn and/or W deposits and lithium–cesium–tantalum
(LCT) type pegmatites in the Acadian, Variscan, and Alleghanian orogenic belts of Europe …

Abstract The Ordovician of Scandinavia (ie Denmark, Norway and Sweden) has been
investigated for over two centuries and, through time, various chronostratigraphic schemes …

The Paleozoic Variscan orogeny was a large-scale collisional event involving amalgamation
of multiple continents and micro-continents. Existing data, suggests oroclinal buckling of an …

The Neoproterozoic tectonomagmatic evolution of West Avalonia comprises four major
events. Tectonism started with the formation of a Tonian passive margin on a Baltica-derived …
