The eastern French Pyrenees: from mountain belt to foreland basin [PDF]

, 2019
The Pyrenees is a young mountain belt formed as part of the larger Alpine collision zone. This excursion explores the development of the Pyrenean Mountain Belt in southern France, from its early extensional phase in the mid‐Cretaceous and subsequent ...

Long‐Term Storage of Meteoric Water in the Variscan Basement: Stable Isotope Constraints (δD–δ18O)

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 116-123, April 2026.
ABSTRACT F‐Ba‐Pb‐Zn (±Ag) deposits near the unconformity between the Armorican and Aquitaine basins formed by mixing surface waters and brines with fluid ascending from the basement. To better constrain the source of this fluid and the conditions of mixing, we analyzed the hydrogen (δDwater) and oxygen (δ18Owater) isotopic composition of water trapped ...

Structural and metamorphic evolution of Variscan basement rocks in the Alps and comparison with the other portions of the European Variscan belt

, 2021
L’évolution tectonique de la chaine varisque méridionale est certainement moins comprise que celle de la chaine varisque de l’Europe centrale. La raison la plus importante est la rééquilibration alpine des roches varisques, qui est particulièrement ...

The Variscan basement in Sardinia [PDF]

, 2015
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 ...

3‐D Modeling of Differential Exhumation of Ultrahigh‐Pressure Metamorphic Rocks Driven by Increasing Plate Divergence

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Petrological and seismic constraints suggest differential sampling depth for ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks exposed in different segments of the fossil subduction zone of the Western Alps. However, the mechanisms for the observed differential exhumation remain to be understood. Here, we account for the continental margin subduction

Late Carboniferous Geomagnetic Field Events Recorded in Post‐Collisional Altenberg–Teplice Caldera, Variscan Belt

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Characteristic remanent magnetizations isolated from the late Variscan Altenberg–Teplice Caldera exhibit paleomagnetic directions, ranging from those consistent with the expected primary Late Carboniferous geomagnetic field to intermediate directions that significantly diverge from the dipole states.

Seismicity and Seismotectonics in the Cantabrian‐Pyrenean Zone (N Spain) Using a Dense Temporary Network of Broadband Seismic Stations

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Earthquakes in intraplate regions are often scattered and difficult to associate with specific geological structures, requiring detailed surveys to identify active faults. Improving knowledge of local seismicity in these areas is essential for accurate seismic hazard assessment and for safe planning of economic activities that could affect ...

Isotopic Disequilibrium Between Migmatites and Protolith: Insights from a Variscan Anatectic Complex (NW of Iberian Variscan Belt, Portugal)

Geosciences
Isotopic disequilibrium during the formation of high-temperature (HT) metamorphic complexes by anatexis during continental collision is a process that deserves intense discussion since it is fundamental to understand the evolution of continental crust ...

Granitoide der europäischen Varisziden : ein Einblick in ihre Platznahme- und tektonometamorphe Geschichte

, 2008
This work analyses several granitic bodies of the Variscan Orogen of Central and Western Europe in order to improve our knowledge about different aspects of their evolution, regarding their ascent and emplacement mechanisms, as well as their deformation ...

Crustal Structure of Laurentia and Peri‐Gondwanan Terranes Beneath Ireland and Britain and Comparison With Eastern North America

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Appalachian‐Caledonian orogen was built during the Paleozoic by accretion of peri‐Gondwanan terranes onto Laurentia, culminating in the formation of Pangea. During the Mesozoic, Pangea broke apart, displacing one section of the belt to eastern North America and another to northwestern Europe.
