Geology of the Cabuérniga Fault System: evolution of a large Alpine structure with Variscan inheritance

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2021
The Cabuérniga Fault System (CFS) extends for 150 km in E–W trend along the northern divide of the Cantabrian Mountains, near the Cantabrian Sea. This fault system was reactivated several times since the Paleozoic, and displays hydrothermal activity ...

Variscan collisional magmatism and deformation in NW Iberia: Constraints from U-Pb geochronology of granitoids

open access: yes, 2000
U–Pb geochronology of Variscan granitoid rocks from the West Asturian Leonese Zone of the NW Iberian belt documents the episodic nature of magmatism in this section of the western European Variscides.

Laurasian Seaway History During the Early Jurassic From Quantitative Mineralogy and Detrital Zircon Dating

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Laurasian Seaway comprises a N‐S oriented trans‐Pangaean corridor linking Tethys to the Boreal Sea during the Jurassic, and direction of water flow has been the subject of considerable debate. The Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, is a uniquely informative record that comprises an expanded deep‐marine silty ...

Paleofluid Fingerprint as an Independent Paleogeographic Correlation Tool: An Example from Pennsylvanian Sandstones and Neighboring Crystalline Rocks (Tisia Composite Terrane, S Hungary)

open access: yesGeofluids, 2020
In the basement areas of the southern Pannonian Basin, Central Europe (Tisia Composite Terrane, Hungary), Variscan blocks are essential components. The existing paleogeographic reconstructions, however, are often unclear and contradictory.

Long‐Term Deformation in the Alpine‐Provence Foreland Constrained by In Situ Calcite U‐Pb Dating

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The evolution of the Alpine‐Provence foreland is characterized by multiple deformation phases since the Mesozoic, representing successive compressional and extensional episodes. The precise timing and spatial evolution of these deformation phases remain poorly constrained due to the lack of absolute geochronological data. Here, we present U–Pb

Kinematics, deformation partitioning and late Variscan magmatism in the Agly massif, Eastern Pyrenees, France

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020
In order to constrain the finite deformation pattern of the Variscan basement of the Agly massif, a detailed structural analysis over the whole Agly massif was performed.

The collapse of the Variscan belt: a Variscan lateral extrusion thin-skinned structure in NW Iberia

open access: yes, 2020
The Iberian Massif of the Variscan Belt is a big area of exposed Palaeozoic rocks holding an S-shaped regional bend. Profuse data and genetic models support the existence of the northern arch (Ibero-Armorican Orocline: IAO) created by Late-Variscan ...

Jadeite in Continental Subduction: Its Preservation, Breakdown and Pseudomorphic Replacement in Erzgebirge UHP Gneisses

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 376-393, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The absence of jadeite in regions where subduction of continental crust has been documented by other high‐pressure (HP) or ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) minerals is striking. This study presents only the second discovery of jadeite in the crystalline rocks of the Erzgebirge, a region known for its occurrences of microdiamond, coesite and omphacite ...

Tectonics, ore bodies, and gamma-ray logging of the Variscan basement, southern Gennargentu massif (central Sardinia, Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2017
We present a structural geological map (1:14,000 scale) that covers a 100 km2 area of Variscan basement rocks exposed in central Sardinia. The mapped area is located between 39°56′20′′ N 9°04′59′′ E (northwestern corner) and 39°51′47′′ N 9°13′16′′ E ...

Variscan thrusting in I- and S-type granitic rocks of the Tribeč Mountains, Western Carpathians (Slovakia): evidence from mineral compositions and monazite dating

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2015
The Tribeč granitic core (Tatric Superunit, Western Carpathians, Slovakia) is formed by Devonian/Lower Carboniferous, calc-alkaline I- and S-type granitic rocks and their altered equivalents, which provide a rare opportunity to study the Variscan ...
