Origin and emplacement of syn-orogenic Variscan granitoids in Iberia the Beiras massif [PDF]

, 2005
The Beiras batholith consists of four main Variscan granitoid suites intruded into metasediments of Proterozoic-Cambrian and Palaeozoic age in Central Northern Portugal: a) the early, syn-D3 granodiorite-monzogranite suite (314-311 Ma); b) the highly ...

Post‐Eocene 90° CCW Rotation of Sardinia‐South Corsica: Paleomagnetic Evidence From Permian‐Cretaceous Sediments of Nurra (NW Sardinia)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The paleomagnetism of Miocene calc‐alkaline volcanics and sediments from Sardinia has firmly showed that the Corsica‐Sardinia microplate rotated 50°–60° counterclockwise (CCW) with respect to Europe between 21 and 15 Ma, during its drift from the Provencal margin. However, Permian to Eocene rocks from central‐south Sardinia revealed higher (up

Geochronology, geochemistry, and geological evolution of the Troiseck-Floning and Rosskogel nappes (Eastern Alps): unraveling parallels between the Eastern Alps and Western Carpathians

Swiss Journal of Geosciences
The Troiseck-Floning and Rosskogel nappes are part of the Austroalpine Unit in the eastern part of the Eastern Alps. The nappes are in tectonic contact and comprise Permian to Mesozoic lower greenschist facies metamorphic metasediments, but only the ...

A >300 Myr Long‐Lived Topographic Highland Along the Northern North China Craton Margin Driven by Multistage Continental Convergence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Topographic highlands commonly develop along convergent plate boundaries through long‐term processes such as subduction and continental collision. However, the pre‐Cenozoic mountain‐building history of deep‐time orogenic systems in northeastern Pangaea remains poorly constrained due to later tectonic overprinting and denudation.

A Common Mantle Source for the Endogenous CO2 Degassed at the Eifel (Western Germany) and the Ardennes (Eastern Belgium) Regions

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Tectonic CO2 Earth degassing is globally relevant and has probably controlled climate on a geological scale (Brune et al., 2019, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561‐017‐0003‐6). Endogenous CO2 outgassing from rifting areas remains poorly constrained, with most available data from the East African Rift.

Vertical strain partitioning in hot Variscan crust: Syn-convergence escape of the Pyrenees in the Iberian-Armorican syntax

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2017
A new structural map of the Paleozoic crust of the Pyrenees based on an extensive compilation and new kinematic data allows for the evaluation of the mechanical coupling between the upper and lower crust of the abnormally hot foreland of the Variscan ...

Dating C/S Structures in Syntectonic Granites by In Situ Rb‐Sr Analyses on Muscovite

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 124-129, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The interplay of crystallisation, deformation and fluid–rock interactions makes deciphering geochronological information complex in syntectonic granites. In this study, we apply in situ Rb‐Sr analyses to selected samples from the Questembert Variscan syntectonic granite in Western France, which was emplaced along the South Armorican Shear Zone

Structure of lamprophyres: a discriminant marker for Variscan and Alpine tectonics in the Argentera-Mercantour Massif, Maritime Alps

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2019
Structural and microstructural analyses are carried out in two sites of the Argentera-Mercantour Massif, Valscura and Val du Haut Boréon, where swarms of lamprophyres intruded into Variscan migmatites and early Permian granitoids. Efforts aim at defining

Syntectonic crustal melting and high-grade metamorphism in a transpressional regime, Variscan Massif Central, France [PDF]

, 2009
Hot collisional orogens are characterized by abundant syn-kinematic granitic magmatism that profoundly affects their tectono-thermal evolutions. Voluminous granitic magmas, emplaced between 360 and 270 Ma, played a visibly important role in the evolution

Late Carboniferous Geomagnetic Field Events Recorded in Post‐Collisional Altenberg–Teplice Caldera, Variscan Belt

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Characteristic remanent magnetizations isolated from the late Variscan Altenberg–Teplice Caldera exhibit paleomagnetic directions, ranging from those consistent with the expected primary Late Carboniferous geomagnetic field to intermediate directions that significantly diverge from the dipole states.
