The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Alps and Apennines developed along opposite subductions, which inverted the tethyan
passive continental margins located along the boundaries of Europe, Africa and the Adriatic …

We present a geodynamic reconstruction of the Central–Western Mediterranean and
neighboring areas during the last 50Myr, including magmatological and tectonic …

Late to post-Variscan molassic basins of Late Pennsylvanian-Permian age are exposed in
Sardinia (Italy). Here, the compositional and stratigraphic evolution of the Mulargia …

Italian Plio-Quaternary magmatism exhibits a very wide petrological, geochemical and
radiogenic-isotope variability, which makes magma genesis and geodynamic significance …

High-MgO ultrapotassic rocks are found in four different areas of the Western Mediterranean
basin associated in space and time with shoshonitic and calc-alkaline rocks. They represent …

Pre-Variscan basement elements of Central Europe appear in polymetamorphic domains
juxtaposed through Variscan and/or Alpine tectonic events. Consequently, nomenclatures …

Abstract The Late Paleozoic Variscan Orogen of Europe and North Africa comprises
reworked Neoproterozoic to Early Paleozoic crust of the northern Gondwanan shelf that …

This paper provides a review of the evolution of palaeomagnetic directions and sequence of
tectonic events in the European Variscan belt during Late Palaeozoic times. These data are …

Although much is known about the Ordovician tectonics of the South European Variscides,
aspects of their geodynamic evolution and palaeogeographic reconstruction remain …
