This work examines the relations between the Cadomian-type peri-Gondwana blocks and
West and North Africa and Arabia (WNA) and the sediments derived therefrom during the …

The application of zircon dating to the reconstruction of orogenic systems is invaluable since
time constraints of the geological evolution of orogens are crucial for the proposal of …

We present a synopsis of detrital zircon U–Pb ages of sandstones from North Africa and
neighboring Israel and Jordan, which allows us to identify zones with characteristic sediment …

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

Abstract Ediacaran and Early Cambrian sedimentary rocks from NW Iberia have been
investigated for detrital zircon U–Pb ages. A total of 1,161 concordant U–Pb ages were …

Early Paleozoic accretionary orogens dominated the Western Gondwana margin and were
characterized by nearly continuous subduction associated with crustal extension and back …

Abstract The Calabria-Peloritani Orogen is an arcuate segment of the peri-Mediterranean
orogenic Alpine nappe system that comprises the whole Calabria and the north-eastern …

Using Gondwana as an example, we show how the geological record can be interrogated to
detect significant changes in mantle convection patterns at critical junctures in Earth's …

Abstract The East Massif Central (EMC), France, is part of the internal zone of the Variscan
belt where late Carboniferous crustal melting and orogenic collapse have largely obliterated …

A newly discovered Precambrian basement of the External Hellenides (Peloponnesus) is
composed of mica schist, quartzite and meta-greywackes intruded by Cambrian granitoids …
