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 …
Abstract Iberia, Avalonia and the “Armorican” terranes form key constituents of the Variscan– Appalachian orogen, but their Neoproterozoic origins along the northern Gondwanan …
A correlation between allochthonous units exposed in the NW Iberian Massif and the southern Armorican Massif is carried out based on lithological associations, structural …
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 …
LA-ICP-MS U–Pb ages of detrital zircons from eight siliciclastic samples from the Basal units of the Variscan allochthonous complexes of NW Iberia are used to establish the maximum …
The Variscan suture exposed in NW Iberia contains a stack of terranes including two allochthonous units with continental affinity and Gondwanan provenance (Upper and Basal …
Abstract The NW Iberian Allochthon and the Teplá-Barrandian and Moldanubian zones represent the internal parts of the Variscan belt in their respective domains. A correlation …
NW Iberia includes a rather complete section of a Variscan suture, where different terranes with continental or oceanic affinities appear with clear structural relationships. Three groups …
The basal units of the allochthonous complexes of NW Iberia are used to examine the Lower Paleozoic geodynamic evolution of the northern Gondwana margin. These units represent …
