Flow of partially molten crust controlling construction, growth and collapse of the Variscan orogenic belt: the geologic record of the French Massif Central

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020
We present here a tectonic-geodynamic model for the generation and flow of partially molten rocks and for magmatism during the Variscan orogenic evolution from the Silurian to the late Carboniferous based on a synthesis of geological data from the French

Variscan sourcing of Westphalian (Pennsylvanian) sandstones in the Canobie Coalfield, UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The zircon age spectrum in a sample from the Canonbie Bridge Sandstone Formation (Asturian) of southern Scotland contains two main peaks. One is Early Carboniferous in age (348– 318 Ma), and corresponds to the age of igneous activity during the ...

Post-depositional tectonic modifications of VMS deposits in Iberia and its economic significance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The original stratigraphic relationships and structure of VMS deposits are commonly obscured by deformation. This can also affect their economic significance, as shown by several Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB, SW Iberia) examples.

Rifting and arc-related early Paleozoic volcanism along the North Gondwana margin: geochemical and geological evidence from Sardinia (Italy) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Three series of volcanic rocks accumulated during the Cambrian to Silurian in the metasediment-dominated Variscan basement of Sardinia. They provide a record of the changing geodynamic setting of the North Gondwana margin between Upper Cambrian and ...

FAULT SYSTEMS IN THE UPPER CRUST OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN FOLDING BELT

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2020
This article considers the disjunctive deformation of the upper crust in the Tien Shan and Altai-Sayan regions of the Central Asian folding belt. An analysis of the diagrams of fault directions constructed on the basis of information on more than 3000 ...

Early Permian age of granite pebbles from an Eocene or Oligocene conglomerate of the Internal Rif belt (Alboran domain, Morocco): hypothesis on their origin

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2018
Granite pebbles from an Eocene or Oligocene conglomerate lying on a Ghomaride nappe of the Internal Zones of the Rif belt (Alboran domain, Morocco) have been dated by U/Pb on zircon at 281 Ma.

Geology of the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex, southern Corsica (France)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2023
In this study, we investigated the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex (southern Corsica), which is part of the innermost Axial Zone of the Corsica-Sardinia Variscan belt.

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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-

Cambrian magmatism, Variscan high-grade metamorphism and imposed greenschist facies shearing in the Central Sredna Gora basement units (Bulgaria)

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2015
Gneisses from the deep structural levels of the European Variscan Belt are well exposed in the Central Sredna Gora in Bulgaria. In general, migmatites predominate, but unmigmatized domains (or domains with incipient migmatization) are also documented in ...
