The composite Sierra Bermeja Pluton (southern Iberian Massif): science, heritage and geoconservation [PDF]
The Sierra Bermeja Pluton (∼60 km2 surface area) exemplifies a type of controversial granites of the Iberian Massif (European Variscan Belt), the cordierite-bearing ‘Serie Mixta’ (mixed series) monzogranites.

Mineral chemistry dataset of the Tournaisian – Lower Viséan submarine basaltic volcanism of the Matachel Basin (SW Iberian Massif). [PDF]
The Matachel Basin is a tectono-stratigraphic unit of Ossa-Morena Zone (southern Iberian Massif) that encompasses an Upper Tournaisian – Viséan basaltic sequence, generated by effusive and explosive eruptions in a shallow submarine setting.

What can seismic noise tell us about the Alpine reactivation of the Iberian Massif? An example in the Iberian Central System [PDF]
The Iberian Central System, formed after the Alpine reactivation of the Variscan Iberian Massif, features maximum altitudes of 2500 m. It is surrounded by two foreland basins with contrasting elevation: the Duero Basin to the north, located at 750–800 m,

First report of the mitrate Mitrocystella (Echinodermata, Stylophora) in the Middle Ordovician of the Crozon Peninsula, Brittany (France) [PDF]
The mid-Ordovician mitrocystitid mitrate Mitrocystella incipiens was one of the most widespread stylophorans in the high latitude Mediterranean Province, with occurrences in the Armorican Massif (France), the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) and ...

Evolution of the Iberian Massif as deduced from its crustal thickness and geometry of a mid-crustal (Conrad) discontinuity [PDF]
Normal incidence seismic data provide the best images of the crust and lithosphere. When properly designed and continuous, these sections greatly contribute to understanding the geometry of orogens and, along with surface geology, unraveling their ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
