Exhuming a cold case: The early granodiorites of the northwest Iberian Variscan belt—A Visean magmatic flare-up? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this study we report laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometer U-Pb ages of granitoids from the so-called early granodiorites of the northwest Iberian Variscan belt.

Thermal evolution of a Variscan syn-orogenic intracontinental basin (Servoz basin, Western Alps): RSCM geothermometry and geochronology

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Geosciences, 2022
The Variscan basement of the Aiguilles-Rouges massif (Western Alps) exposes the Servoz syncline which consists of a metavolcano-sedimentary sequence composed of (i) a volcanic unit of unknown age and origin, (ii) Early Carboniferous sedimentary series ...

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.

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

Correlating magnetic fabrics with finite strain : comparing results from mudrocks in the Variscan and Appalachian Orogens

open access: yes, 2004
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

Tectonometamorphic evolution of the Aracena metamorphic belt (SW Spain) resulting from ridge-trench interaction during Variscan plate convergence

open access: yes, 2006
[1] The Aracena metamorphic belt is a high-temperature/low-pressure (HT/LP) band located at the southern end of the European Variscan chain. It marks a suture between Armorica and Avalonia.

Late Carboniferous Paleomagnetism From North Qiangtang Block Reveals a Multibranched Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The North Qiangtang Block occupies a pivotal position within the eastern Tethyan realm, and its paleogeographic reconstruction is critical for constraining Tethyan geometry and evolution. However, its Late Paleozoic paleogeography and Paleo‐Tethyan Ocean–continent configuration remain controversial due to limited reliable age‐constrained ...

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

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.

From Inventories to Insights: Environmental Gradients Structuring Macro‐Moths Assemblages Recorded in Nature Reserves

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The article analyses macro‐moth (Lepidoptera) inventory data from 292 nature reserves across the Czech Republic, comprising 941 species. It examines how reserve characteristics, geographic position and altitude influence species richness, community composition and their associations with species traits.

On the development of kink-bands: A case study in the Westasturian-Leonese Zone (Variscan belt, NW Spain)

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020
A field analysis of kink bands developed in slates from three areas (Grandas, Boal and Luarca areas) of the Westasturian-Leonese Zone (Iberian Variscan belt) is presented.
