Late- to post-Variscan extensional tectonics in south Cornwall [PDF]
, 2013 Faults which post-date Variscan contractional deformation are ubiquitous in south Cornwall. Three broad geometric/kinematic types can be defined. The first type comprises low angle (dip 45°) extensional faults which generally offset earlier low-angle ...

SICILIAN JURASSIC PHYSIOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGIC REALMS (ITALY)
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2004 Two tectono-sedimentary domains, which were deformed during the Neogene and evolved into two large structural sectors, characterize the Sicilian Jurassic: the Maghrebides and Peloritani.

Late- to post-Variscan structures on the coast between Penzance and Pentewan, south Cornwall [PDF]
, 2013 The occurrence of two generations (D1/D2) of folds and cleavage, compatible with a top to the north-north-west sense of shear during Variscan convergence is confirmed.

Crustal influx, indentation, ductile thinning and gravity redistribution in a continental wedge: Building a Moldanubian mantled gneiss dome with underthrust Saxothuringian material (European Variscan belt) [PDF]
, 2012 27 p.International audience[1] The contribution of lateral forces, vertical load, gravity redistribution and erosion to the origin of mantled gneiss domes in internal zones of orogens remains debated.

, 2021 The tectonic evolution of the Southern Variscan belt is still poorly understood if compared with that of the central European Variscan belt. That is due to intense late-Variscan to Alpine re-working, in particular in the Alpine axial zone. The Variscan rocks of the external domains of the Alps are instead little affected by Alpine re-equilibration. For

Post-collisional rapid exhumation and erosion during continental sedimentation: the example of the late Variscan Salvan-Dorénaz basin (Western Alps) [PDF]
, 2018 The Salvan-Dorénaz intramontane basin formed between ca. 308-293Ma as an asymmetric graben along crustal-scale transtensional fracture zones within the Aiguilles-Rouges crystalline massif (Western Alps) and represents a feature of the post-collisional ...
