Reappraisal of Variscan tectonics in the southern French Massif Central

Tectonophysics, 2020
Abstract The comprehensive kinematic analysis of the Variscan fold nappes and associated wildflysch in the Southeastern Montagne Noire shows that the nappes were thrust northeastwardly along the Cevennes fault as a result of strike-slip-dominated sinistral transpression between 340 and 323 Ma. Macro- and map-scale recumbent folding and nappe stacking

An oxygen isotope record of lacustrine opal from a European Maar indicates climatic stability during the Last Interglacial [PDF]

, 2004
The penultimate temperate period, 127–110 ka before present (BP), bracketed by abrupt shifts of the global climate system initiating and terminating it, is considered as an analogue of the Holocene because of a similar low global ice‐volume.

Multistage development of a hydrothermal W deposit during the Variscan late-orogenic evolution: the Puy-les-Vignes breccia pipe (Massif Central, France)

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2021
The Puy-les-Vignes W deposit, located in the northwestern French Massif Central (FMC), is a rare occurrence of a wolframite-mineralized hydrothermal breccia pipe hosted in high-grade metamorphic gneisses.

Petrogenetic link between metasedimentary rocks, migmatites and granitoids in the Variscan basement of the Pontgibaud area, French Massif Central – implications for the crustal structure

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
The architecture of the crust in the French Massif Central (FMC) is described as a nappe stack composed, from top to bottom, of the Upper Gneiss Unit (UGU), the Lower Gneiss Unit (LGU), and the Para-Autochthonous Unit (PAU), which are intruded by ...
