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 …

The geological inventory of the Variscan Bohemian Massif can be summarized as a result of
Early Devonian subduction of the Saxothuringian ocean of unknown size underneath the …

Key lithological units of the high-grade eastern margin of the Bohemian Massif were dated
using the U-Pb and Pb-Pb methods on zircons in order to establish a chronological …

This paper summarizes the current knowledge on the nature, kinematics and timing of
movement along major tectonic boundaries in the Bohemian Massif and demonstrates how …

A large database of structural, geochronological and petrological data combined with a
Bouguer anomaly map is used to develop a two‐stage exhumation model of deep‐seated …

Abstract Analysis of tectonostratigraphic units in the West Sudetes reveals the same
geological events as in the areas west of the Elbe Fault Zone: a late Proterozoic (Cadomian) …

Single-zircon dating by step-wise evaporation has established that successive granitic
intrusions were emplaced in the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex (CBPC) during a short …

A synthesis of published and new data is used to interpret the Sudetic segment of the
Variscan belt as having formed by the accretion of four major and two or three minor …

ABSTRACT The Bohemian Massif of Central Europe is a Variscan collage of lithospheric
fragments that formed at the northern margin of Gondwana during the late Neoproterozoic. A …

The Variscan orogenic collage consists of three subduction-collision systems (Rheno-
Hercynian, Saxo-Thuringian and Massif Central-Moldanubian). Devonian to early …
