The Rheic Ocean, which separated Laurussia from Gondwana following the closure of
Iapetus, is arguably the most important ocean of the Palaeozoic. Its suture extends from …

Abstract The Variscan Bohemian Massif reveals evidence for two oceans. The Saxo-
Thuringian basin separated the microcontinents Franconia-Thuringia (N-Armorica) and …

The Hercynian Köse composite pluton (KCP) is located in the Eastern Pontides, Turkey, and
consists of two units of high-K calc-alkaline, primarily peraluminous granites:(i) the internal …

Valid palaeotectonic and palaeogeographical reconstructions of the easternmost
Mediterranean and adjacent region involve a long-lived Tethys (Rheic, Palaeotethyan and …

The northern and southern zones of the eastern Pontides (northeast Turkey) contain
numerous plutons of varying ages and compositions. Geochemical and isotopic results on …

The Tethyan region is a major petroleum province. The paleogeographic position and
tectonic history is a major control on sedimentation across the region, and this has …

Numerous intrusive rocks of varying ages and compositions exist in the Paleozoic to Tertiary
periods in the Eastern Pontides. Carboniferous intrusive rocks are commonly observed in …

Nine new palaeogeographical maps of central Gondwana are presented at intervals within
the Palaeozoic from the Middle Cambrian at 510 Ma to the end of the Permian at 250 Ma …

Abstract Although the Rheic Ocean was the widest to be closed during the assembly of
Pangaea, its suture zone is dominated by a younger (Rhenohercynian) Wilson Cycle. The …

Zircons from Carboniferous sandstones (three samples) and Mid-Late Triassic sandstones
(four samples) from the Tauride and Anatolide continental units were analysed for U-Pb-Hf …
