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.

New magnetotelluric data through the boundary between the Ossa Morena and Centroiberian Zones [PDF]
The south-western part of the Iberian Peninsula, including the southern branch of the Iberian Massif, has recently been the subject of several magnetotelluric (MT) studies.

U-Pn geochronology of deformed metagranites in central Sutherland, Scotland: evidence for widespread late Silurian metamorphism and ductile deformation of the Moine Supergroup during the Caledonian orogeny [PDF]
Within the Caledonides of central Sutherland, Scotland, the Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Moine Supergroup record NW-directed D2 ductile thrusting and nappe assembly, accompanied by widespread tight-to-isoclinal folding and amphibolite ...

The abundance of the NE-SW direction veins mineralized in barite, copper, lead and zinc in the Tadaout-Tizi n’Rsas (TTR) anticline make this area one of the principal vein fields in Tafilalet (easternmost border of the Eastern Anti-Atlas).

A few remarks on the Triassic paleogeography and geodynamic link between the Dinarides an the Serbo-Macedonian unit [PDF]
A recently recycled tectonic hypothesis in which the Serbo-Macedonian Unit rifted off during Ladinian from the Dinarides is tested. The Triassic rifting, according to this concept, led to the opening and the formation of a northwestern branch of ...

U-Pb geochronology of the Fort Augustus granite gneiss: constraints on the timing of Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic tectonothermal events in the NW Highlands of Scotland [PDF]
The West Highland granite gneiss suite in Inverness-shire, Scotland, represents a series of S-type, anatectic granites formed by partial melting of host Neoproterozoic metasediments of the Moine Supergroup.

40Ar ∕ 39Ar age constraints on the formation of fluid-rich quartz veins from the NW Rhenohercynian zone (Rursee area, Germany) [PDF]
A substantial part of the subsurface geology in northwestern and central Europe is defined by the late Palaeozoic Variscan Orogeny (∼ 350 Ma). Our focus is mainly on veining in anchimetamorphic sedimentary rocks affected by this orogeny.
