Geological evidence, supported by biogeographical data and in accord with
palaeomagnetic constraints, indicates that “one ocean” models for the Variscides should be …

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 …

This work is based on the compilation and re-evaluation of the most significant data, either
personal or from the literature, concerning the Moroccan Variscides. The latter constitute the …

This paper provides a review of the evolution of palaeomagnetic directions and sequence of
tectonic events in the European Variscan belt during Late Palaeozoic times. These data are …

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 …

This paper present new U–Pb geochronological data (LA-ICP MS on zircon) of granitoids
from the Moroccan Meseta Variscan belt. Zircons from the Oulad Ouaslam granodiorite in …

Abstract This paper presents Late Devonian (Frasnian–Famennian) global and regional
paleogeographic maps displaying present day coastlines, tectonic elements' boundaries …

The concept of cyclic closure and opening of oceans along the same crustal scar was
introduced by JT Wilson (1966) based on the example of the Atlantic Ocean and its …

Abstract The Rabat-Tiflet area (north-western Morocco) has a complex geological setting
and a high geodiversity, two reasons that justify the geoheritage inventory done in this work …

Coupled structural and paleomagnetic analyses have shown that the northern Iberian bend
of the Variscan orogen, referred to as the Cantabrian Orocline, developed by vertical axis …
