Paleogeographic inversion resulting from large out of sequence breaching thrusts: The León Fault (Cantabrian Zone, NW Iberia). A new picture of the external Variscan Thrust Belt in the Ibero-Armorican Arc [PDF]
, 2009 Out of sequence breaching thrusts may give rise to duplication of a former thrust stack in map view in the same manner that stratigraphic units are repeated by initial thrusts.

Origin and emplacement of syn-orogenic Variscan granitoids in Iberia the Beiras massif [PDF]
, 2005 The Beiras batholith consists of four main Variscan granitoid suites intruded into metasediments of Proterozoic-Cambrian and Palaeozoic age in Central Northern Portugal: a) the early, syn-D3 granodiorite-monzogranite suite (314-311 Ma); b) the highly ...

TectonicsAbstractRelamination is closely connected to subduction zones. Despite the numerous high‐P metamorphic belts recognized on Earth, relamination remains a poorly documented process. We present a continental subduction zone where the exhuming high‐P rocks became a relaminant under the upper plate. This study focuses on the Variscan Orogeny (SW Iberia) and

A review of the Irish crustal structure and signatures from the Caledonian and Variscan Orogenies
Terra Nova, 2005 AbstractThis paper reviews the complex crustal and upper‐mantle seismic velocity structure of Ireland and surrounding seas. Data from 11 seismic refraction profiles reveal that onshore Ireland mean crustal velocities range between 6.25 and 6.5 km s−1 with crustal thickness of 28.5–32 km.

Geochemical, O-H-Sr Isotopic, and Thermodynamic Insights into the Metasomatic and Metamorphic Evolution of the Saxothuringian Crust: The Case of the Kowadło Ultramafic Suite (SW Poland) [PDF]
LithosphereThe Orlica-Śnieżnik Dome in the Bohemian Massif represents a key window into the tectonic and geochemical evolution of the Saxothuringian continental crust, exemplified by the stratified Kowadło ultramafic suite.
