Reactive interaction between migmatite-related melt and mafic rocks: clues from the Variscan lower crust of Palmi (southwestern Calabria, Italy) [PDF]
In the Variscan lower–intermediate crust exposed in the Palmi area (southwestern Calabria, Italy), amphibolites occur as foliated, decimeter-thick layers within migmatitic paragneiss and as a decametric main body adjacent to the migmatites. The main body

Geochemistry and paleogeographic implications of Permo-Triassic metasedimentary cover from the Tauern Window (Eastern Alps) [PDF]
The chemical composition of metasediments is a valuable source of paleogeographic information about the protolith's sedimentary environment. Here, we compile major- and trace-element whole-rock data, including B contents, and 10/11B-isotope ratios from ...

Remelting of Ordovician migmatites and granites during Variscan high-grade metamorphism (Aar Massif, Central Alps, Switzerland) [PDF]
The remelting of felsic gneisses, migmatites and granite during a later orogenic cycle can produce rocks of different age with comparable field appearance, microstructure, mineralogical and chemical composition.

Multiple crustal and mantle inputs in post-collisional magmatism: Evidence from late-Variscan Sàrrabus pluton (SE Sardinia, Italy) [PDF]
The Sàrrabus pluton is formed by multiple short-lived intrusions emplaced at about 286 Ma at shallow crustal levels within the external part of the South Variscan Orogenic Belt.

Plagioclase-mantled K-feldspar in the Carboniferous porphyritic microgranite of Altenberg-Frauenstein, Eastern Erzgebirge / Krušné Hory [PDF]
The Upper Carboniferous porphyritic microgranite of Altenberg-Frauenstein, formerly known as Granitporphyr (Dalmer 1896) and here abbreviated as GP, forms a 36 km long and up to 18 km wide complex of ring dykes related to the Teplice-Altenberg caldera in

Structure of a Variscan migmatite-granite transition zone (N Sardinia, Italy)
This paper presents the structural map of the Barrabisa Complex, an E-W ribbon-like migmatitic massif exposed in the northern part of Sardinia. The migmatites consist of metatexites and diatexites with variable melt proportion, grading in the central part of the complex to a foliated peraluminous granodiorite.

Variscan two-mica granites are widespread in the Trás-os-Montes region (NE Portugal), yet their emplacement ages, petrogenesis, and relationship with Variscan deformation phases remain poorly constrained.
