The Cadomian Orogeny was active along the northern margin of Gondwanaland during the Late Neoproterozoic–Early Cambrian period. Remains of this orogenic activity are traced from Western Europe to the Himalayas, including some metamorphic basement rocks ...

Does Neoproterozoic-Early Paleozoic (570–530 Ma) basement of Iran belong to the Cadomian Orogeny?
Abstract Late Neoproterozoic–Early Paleozoic basement in Iran mainly comprises granites and mafic rocks locally affected by high-grade metamorphism. In this contribution, we collate whole rock chemical data for more than 600 samples; Sr–Nd isotope data for 200 samples; and zircon U-Pb ages of > 2500 grains.

Abstract In the Mississippian Matachel small volcanic field of the Ossa‐Morena Zone (southern Iberian Massif) outpoured basic‐intermediate lavas exhibit geochemical characteristics of Low‐Ti continental tholeiites and calc‐alkaline lavas. Low‐Ti continental tholeiites integrate two contrasting groups of rocks: basalts (Mg#: 54 to 70; Ti/Zr: 61–79; LaN ...

New magnetotelluric data through the boundary between the Ossa Morena and Centroiberian Zones [PDF]
The south-western part of the Iberian Peninsula, including the southern branch of the Iberian Massif, has recently been the subject of several magnetotelluric (MT) studies.

Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks of the Mérida Massif (SW Iberia) have been grouped into tectonostratigraphic units. Each unit is separated from the rest ones by either crustal-scale thrusts and/or extensional detachments.

Abstract Two eclogite samples from the Haut‐Allier record a prograde evolution from ~20 kbar, 650°C to 750°C, 22–23 kbar followed by heating up to 850–875°C and partial melting. Incipient decompression in high‐pressure granulite facies conditions (19.5 kbar, 875°C) was followed by exhumation to high‐temperature amphibolite facies conditions (<9 kbar ...

Small granitic plutons and associated granitic dykes that intrude the pre-Devonian basement of the Bitlis Massif were previously inferred to have a broadly Late Palaeozoic crystallisation age related to the Hercynian orogeny; this was tested during this ...

Crustal Imaging of Portugal Mainland Using Magnetotelluric Data
Abstract The comprehensive mapping of resistivities in depth and its interpretation is of great importance to unravel the electrical properties of deep‐seated rocks, providing significant insights into the structure of the crust. The first 3D resistivity model for Portugal mainland is here reported using data from 31 broadband MT soundings spaced 50 ...

Introduction All of the major tectonic zones of Iran, except for the Kopet-Dagh, contain Pan-African crystalline basement. Subduction of the Proto-Tethys at about 630 Ma caused Cadomian arc– and backarc magmatism in the northern margin of Gondwana ...
