Geology of the Montigiu Nieddu metamorphic basement, NE Sardinia (Italy)
A geological map at 1:10,000 scale is presented that shows the distribution of the metamorphic rock units in the area of Montigiu (Mt.) Nieddu (NE Sardinia). These units belong to the High-Grade Metamorphic Complex in the Inner Zone of the Variscan chain

Complex examination of the Upper Paleozoic siliciclastic rocks from southern Transdanubia, SW Hungary—Mineralogical, petrographic, and geochemical study [PDF]
A vertical section of Upper Paleozoic sandstones from southern Transdanubia (Mecsek-Villány area, Tisza mega-unit, Hungary) has been analyzed for major and trace elements, including rare earth elements (REEs).

The variscan basement in Sardinia [PDF]
After a short and up-to-date geological overview of the Variscan belt in Sardinia, we describe a field trip in the northeastern portion of the island that progresses from the low-grade metamorphic rocks to the Migmatite Complex and its related intrusions. The selected Stops are readily accessible and can be covered in four days.

Evidence for surface uplift of the Atlas Mountains and the surrounding peripheral plateaux: Combining apatite fission-track results and geomorphic indicators in the Western Moroccan Meseta (coastal Variscan Paleozoic basement) [PDF]
This work represents an initial attempt to link the evolution of the topography in relation to the general tectonic framework of western Morocco. For this purpose, in a section of the Western Moroccan Meseta different tools are combined in order to ...

Remelting of Ordovician migmatites and granites during Variscan high-grade metamorphism (Aar Massif, Central Alps, Switzerland) [PDF]
The remelting of felsic gneisses, migmatites and granite during a later orogenic cycle can produce rocks of different age with comparable field appearance, microstructure, mineralogical and chemical composition.

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]
Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to northern Germany. Magmatism is spatially and temporally associated with Alpine-

A lead isotope perspective on urban development in ancient Naples [PDF]
The influence of a sophisticated water distribution system on urban development in Roman times is tested against the impact of Vesuvius volcanic activity, in particular the great eruption of AD 79, on all of the ancient cities of the Bay of Naples ...

Correlating magnetic fabrics with finite strain : comparing results from mudrocks in the Variscan and Appalachian Orogens [PDF]
New magnetic anisotropy data from Variscan mudstones collected in the Cantabrian Arc, N Spain constrain the corresponding strain (shortening). The results are based on our previous study of mudrocks from the Valley and Ridge Province (Appalachians) where

Late-Variscan granitoid rocks of trondhjemitic and granitic composition, intruded in migmatitic paragneisses in the north-eastern Peloritani Mountains (southern Italy) at ~310 Ma and ~300 Ma, respectively, exhibit a range of deformation microstructures ...
