Structure of a Variscan migmatite-granite transition zone (N Sardinia, Italy)
This paper presents the structural map of the Barrabisa Complex, an E-W ribbon-like migmatitic massif exposed in the northern part of Sardinia. The migmatites consist of metatexites and diatexites with variable melt proportion, grading in the central ...

Procesos anatécticos (LP-HT) y heterogeneidad litológica en el Complejo Migmatítico de Mindelo (NW Portugal) [PDF]
The Mindelo Migmatitic Complex crops out in the coastal zone north of Porto (Portugal) and consists of a set of migmatitic and granitic lithologies. Field relationships, petrography, geochemistry and isotopic signature of the various lithologies allow ...

An analogue model of melt segregation and accumulation processes in the Earth’s crust [PDF]
An analogue experiment was carried out to model melt segregation from the solid rock matrix and its subsequent transport. Carbon dioxide gas and sand were used as analogue materials of crustal partial melt and host rock, respectively.

The South Millevaches Middle Carboniferous crustal melting and its place in the French Variscan Belt [PDF]
International audienceSeveral episodes of crustal melting are now well identified in the Variscan French Massif Central. Middle Devonian (ca 385-375 Ma) migmatites are recognized in the Upper and Lower Gneiss Units involved in the stack of nappes.

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 ...

Structural development of migmatites near Skåldö, southwest Finland [PDF]
The migmatites of the Skåldö area show the effects of an extensive polyphase deformational history at relatively deep crustal levels during the Svecokarelian episode. Despite the complexity of the fold patterns it is possible to establish a deformational

Variscan metamorphism in the eastern Pyrenees and its relation to Late-Variscan magmatism revealed by U-Pb zircon dating: implications for the configuration of the Variscan Belt in the NE Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
Variscan migmatites cropping out in the eastern Pyrenees were dated together with Late Variscan plutonic rocks. Upper Proterozoic–Lower Cambrian series were migmatized during a thermal episode that occurred in the interval 320–315 Ma coeval with the main

The 1.79 Ga Särkilahti leucogranite – a horizontal magma layer below granulite-grade migmatites in SE Finland [PDF]
The heterogeneous, peraluminous Särkilahti garnet-cordierite leucogranite occupies ~ 75 km2 area in Svecofennian granulite-grade terrain of SE Finland. Country rocks are metasedimentary garnet-cordierite-biotite migmatites with some orthopyroxenegarnet ...
