Variscan extension in the Pyrenees
Tectonics, 1992Evidence for Variscan extension in the Pyrenees is summarized and used with other geological and geochronological data to reconstruct the Variscan extensional geometry and kinematics at a crustal scale. A regionally consistent pattern of ESE‐WNW trending synmetamorphic stretching directions indicates Variscan extension roughly parallel to the present ...

The analysis of an orogen remains incomplete if there is no discussion about the development of its foreland. With regard to the mid-European Variscides, the situation is considerably complicated because the corresponding Paleozoic rocks of the foreland are overlain by the thick Young Paleozoic to Cenozoic platform cover of the Central European Basin ...

Tectonophysics, 1999
Abstract A comprehensive seismic reflection and borehole database over the whole of the Cheshire Basin has allowed examination of the Carboniferous succession beneath a thick Permo-Triassic cover. Construction of a seismic sequence stratigraphy involving the recognition of unconformity-bounded packages has allowed the examination of the control by ...

Large Fossil Hydrothermal Systems in Variscan Granites and Pre-Variscan Gneisses of the Schwarzwald
Mineralogical Magazine, 1998The Schwarzwald is part of the Moldanubium core zone of the Variscan fold belt. The basement consists of orthoand paragneisses of Caledonian and of Precambrian age. S-type granites are exposed in four different regions of the Schwarzwald: north, central, southwest and southeast. The granites of each region form a granite series, the separate intrusions

Paleozoic formations crop out extensively in Morocco, north of the West African craton. With regard to the Hercynian deformation, various structural domains can be distinguished in Morocco. The undeformed series of the southern flank of the Tindouf basin belong to the tabular cover of the Reguibate shield. Zemmour and Anti-Atlas are parts of a marginal

Are the oroclines of the Variscan belt related to late Variscan strike‐slip tectonics?
Terra Nova, 2011Terra Nova, 23, 241–247, 2011AbstractEarly Variscan structures and magnetic anomalies delineate four oroclines along the Variscan belt. The arcs bend the lithostratigraphic zones of the autochthon and the allochthonous terranes, which include ophiolites of the Rheic suture and units of Gondwanan derivation subducted on both sides of the Rheic Ocean.
