Two plates—many subduction zones: the Variscan orogeny reconsidered
The Variscides of Europe and N-Africa are the result of the convergence of the plates of
Gondwana and Laurussia in the Paleozoic. This orogen is characterized by the juxtaposition …

Retrogressed lawsonite blueschists from the NW Iberian Massif: P–T–t constraints from thermodynamic modelling and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology
Blueschist facies terranes in the Variscan Ibero-Armorican Arc are restricted to scarce and
