Tectonic framework of the Cabo Ortegal Complex: A slab of lower crust exhumed in the Variscan orogen (northwestern Iberian Peninsula)

open access: yes, 2002
The Cabo Ortegal Complex is a composite allochthonous terrane that was thrust onto the western edge of Gondwana during the Variscan orogeny. It is formed of two main tectonic units: the Upper Tectonic unit, comprising rocks affected by highpressure (P)

Quantitative P–T–t–D Paths: A Key to decipher orogenic dynamics in the Variscan Aiguilles Rouges Massif (External Crystalline Massifs, Western Alps)

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
This study investigates the P–T–t–D evolution of two metapelitic samples from the middle crust exposed in the Aiguilles Rouges Massif. Garnet compositional mapping, phase equilibrium modelling, zirconium-in-rutile thermometry, trace element geochemistry ...

Early Permian 90° clockwise rotation of the Maures–Este ́rel– Corsica–Sardinia block confirmed by new palaeomagnetic data and followed by a Triassic 60° clockwise rotation

open access: yes, 2014
Palaeomagnetic investigations of the Corso-Sardinian block and Maures–Este ́rel show that there has been a change in their magnetic orientation during the Late Carboniferous–Early Permian period (305–280 Ma).

Imprint of the Reguibat Promontory (West Africa) on the Appalachian, Mauritanide and Souttoufide Belts During the Assembly of Pangaea

open access: yesGeosciences
During the course of the Carboniferous to Permian, large parts of eastern Laurentia and northern Gondwana were affected by the Variscan Orogeny accompanying the assembly of Pangea. Here, we concentrate on the Appalachian belt of eastern Laurentia and the

Geological and Geochemical Characterization of Variscan Pegmatites in the Sidi Bou Othmane District, Central Jebilet Province, Morocco

open access: yesGeosciences
The Sidi Bou Othmane (SBO) pegmatite district is situated in the Central Jebilet massif, Western Meseta domain, Morocco. The SBO district is hosted essentially in a volcano-sedimentary series composed of Late-Devonian Sarhlef shales.

Late orogenic evolution of the Variscan lithosphere: Nd isotopic constraints from the western Alps

open access: yes, 2002
International audienceWe performed geochemical analyses (major- and trace-elements, Nd isotopes) of Late Variscan igneous rocks from the western Alps in order to better constrain the lithospheric evolution at the end of the Variscan orogeny.

Isotopic signatures of fluid inclusions from quartz veins record sub-surface fluid-rock interaction associated with the Variscan orogeny

open access: yes
The presence of fluid inclusions in quartz veins is crucial to reconstruct fluid migration pathways in the subsurface. In this study, we provide an innovative approach to analyse the hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of water fluid inclusions ...

Geochemistry and geochronology of the Palaeozoic mafic magmatism in the Codosera, Almadén and Guadalmez synclines, Central Iberian Zone, Spain

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
The Central Iberian Zone (CIZ) hosts several mafic suites showing variable geochemical affinities and signatures evolving through time. To provide a better understanding of magmatic processes, possible sources and the temporal evolution of the mafic ...
