The non-cylindrical character of the Variscan Belt is established via a description of its most
salient geological characteristics and correlations among the main and relatively minor …

An integrated interpretation of the late Paleozoic structural and geochronological record of
the Iberian Massif is presented and discussed under the perspective of a Gondwana …

The early evolution of SW Europe Variscides started by opening of the Rheic ocean at∼ 500
Ma, splitting Avalonia from Armorica/Iberia. Subduction on the SE side of Rheic generated …

Multigrain concentrates of hornblende and muscovite together with whole-rock slate/phyllite
samples have been dated (27 analyses) using 40Ar/39Ar incremental-release methods …

Recent advances in geochemical studies of igneous rocks, isotopic age data for magmatism
and metamorphism, quantitative pressure-temperature (PT) estimates of metamorphic …

Ophiolites of different Paleozoic ages occur in North-West (NW) Iberia in a rootless suture
representing the remnants of the Rheic Ocean. Associated allochthonous terranes in the …

A correlation between allochthonous units exposed in the NW Iberian Massif and the
southern Armorican Massif is carried out based on lithological associations, structural …

The Society makes every effort to ensure that the scientific and production quality of its
books matches that of its journals. Since 1997, all book proposals have been refereed by …

The Ibero-Armorican Arc is the main Variscan macrostructure in western Europe. Although it
was recognized in the 1920s, its genesis is still debatable and the proposed models for its …

A structural and metamorphic study was carried out in the basal units of the Ordenes
Complex in Spain, thought to represent a subducted part of the Paleozoic margin of …
