We present a map that correlates tectonic units between Alps and western Turkey
accompanied by a text providing access to literature data, explaining the concepts used for …

Raman elastic geobarometry has increasingly been used complementary to metamorphic
phase equilibria to estimate the conditions of recrystallization in metamorphic rocks. The …

It is hypothesized that the present tectonic setting of the Anatolian, Aegean and Balkan
regions has been deeply influenced by the different deformation styles of the inner and outer …

Despite the occurrence of high-grade metamorphic rocks next to and along crustal-scale
shear zones, the temporal character of their formation and evolution is difficult to extract. We …

Abstract The Rhodopes in Bulgaria and Greece represent a nappe stack of high-grade units
with polymetamorphic history. Constraining the time of metamorphism in individual subunits …

This work delves into the presence of REE-Ti-Zr-U-Th minerals, in the mafic–intermediate
rocks of the Maronia pluton, Greece, an Oligocene intrusion formed through arc-magmatism …

Several pottery sherds from the Svilengrad-Brantiite site, Bulgaria, were mineralogically and
petrographically analyzed. The aim was to add information to the very scarce material data …

Abstract The Strandja Zone (SE Bulgaria/NW Turkey) comprises tectonic units affected by
Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous upper greenschist-to amphibolite-facies metamorphism. A …

In this study, the oxygen isotope (δ18O) composition of pink to red gem-quality rubies from
Paranesti, Greece was investigated using in-situ secondary ionization mass spectrometry …

The Rhodope Massif represents a large high-grade metamorphic complex situated in the
Balkan Peninsula, straddling the border between Bulgaria and Greece. Geological studies …
