This study compares, for the first time, the mineralogy and geochemistry of two residual-clay deposits in NW Sardinia (Nurra district) that formed at different times in tropical and sub-tropical climates.

Structure of the Castellaccio Pluton (Asinara Island, Italy)
This paper illustrates the geological and structural map (scale 1:10,000) of the Castellaccio Pluton (Asinara island – Italy), a peraluminous granodioritic intrusion of Variscan age that belongs to the Corsica-Sardinia Batholith. This small pluton, about

Structural and kinematic relationships between Corsica and the Pyrenees-Provence domain at the time of the Pyrenean orogeny [PDF]
International audienceThe Pyrenees-Provence belt and the Alps were both active in the late Eocene. Alpine Corsica was once a part of the Alps, and the now obducted metamorphic oceanic domain is similar and easily correlated in both areas.

Stars in the Silurian sky : Echinoderm holdfasts from the Carnic Alps, Austria [PDF]
A small collection of echinoderm holdfasts from the Ludlow Cardiola Formation of the Carnic Alps (Austria) contains a wide range of morphologies as a response of environmental adaptation.

Lateral termination of the north-directed Alpine orogeny and onset of westward escape in the Western Alpine arc: Structural and sedimentary evidence from the external zone [PDF]
31p.International audienceThe initial propagation of the Western Alpine orogen was directed northwestward, as shown by basement-involved and Mesozoic sedimentary cover compressional structures and by the early foreland basins evolution.

Multiple subduction imprints in the mantle below Italy detected in a single lava flow [PDF]
Post-collisional magmatism reflects the regional subduction history prior to collision but the link between the two is complex and often poorly understood.

Geology of the Asinara Island (Sardinia, Italy)
Understanding how the lithosphere accommodates deformation along oblique convergent plate boundaries is an important issue for unveiling orogenic belt exhumation.

Sardinia (Italy) represents one of the most comprehensive cross-sections of the Variscan orogen. The metamorphic and structural complexity characterizing its axial zone still presents many unresolved issues in the current state of knowledge.
