Variscan orogeny in Corsica: new structural and geochronological insights, and its place in the Variscan geodynamic framework [PDF]
International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014 In Western Corsica, remnants of pre-batholitic lithological and metamorphic assemblages are preserved as km-scale septa enclosed within Lower Carboniferous to Early Permian plutons. Two groups of septa were recognized: (1) the Argentella and Agriates-Tenda fragments correspond to Neoproterozoic rocks deformed and metamorphosed during the Cadomian ...

How many subductions in the Variscan orogeny? Insights from numerical models [PDF]
Geoscience Frontiers, 2020 <p>The Variscan belt is the result of the Pangea accretion, a prominent feature of the European continental lithosphere (von Raumer et al., 2003) . The debate on the number of oceans and the geodynamic evolution of the Variscan belt is still open (Faure et al., 2009; Franke et al., 2017). Two scenarios have been proposed:</

Two plates — Many subduction zones: The Variscan orogeny reconsidered
Gondwana Research, 2013Abstract The Variscides of Europe and N-Africa are the result of the convergence of the plates of Gondwana and Laurussia in the Paleozoic. This orogen is characterized by the juxtaposition of blocks of continental crust that are little affected by the Variscan orogeny.

Variscan orogeny in the Black Sea region
International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2016Two Gondwana-derived Paleozoic belts rim the Archean/Paleoproterozoic nucleus of the East European Platform in the Black Sea region. In the north is a belt of Paleozoic passive-margin-type sedimentary rocks, which extends from Moesia to the Istanbul Zone and to parts of the Scythian Platform (the MOIS Block).
