For the west European regional chronostratigraphic framework, the Cantabrian substage
was conceived as covering a widely apparent stratigraphic gap between the top of the …

The collision between Gondwana and Laurussia that formed the latest supercontinent,
Pangea, occurred during Devonian to Early Permian times and resulted in large-scale …

Despite the Mediterranean sector of the Variscan Belt being fragmented and reworked
during Alpine orogenesis, evidence for the activity of a right‐lateral strike‐slip shear zone …

Detailed geological field mapping, integrated with meso-and microstructural investigations,
kinematic of the flow and finite strain analyses, combined with geochronology, are …

In recent decades, constraining the timing of shear activity has been one of the main topics
of research about the tectono-metamorphic evolution of orogenic belts. We present a review …

We present a pre-orogenic, early Paleozoic, palinspastic reconstruction of the northern
Gondwana margin that was subsequently involved in the Late Paleozoic Variscan orogeny …

Abstract The Late Paleozoic Variscan orogen in Europe is the result of convergence and
collision between Laurussia and Gondwana during closure of the Rheic Ocean. The orogen …

Abstract The Maures–Tanneron Massif and the Corsica–Sardinia Block are two segments of
the southern European Variscan belt that separated during the Late Oligocene–Miocene …

Abstract In the Western Alps, a steeply dipping km-scale shear zone (the Ferriere-Mollières
shear zone) cross-cuts Variscan migmatites in the Argentera-Mercantour External …

In this study we report laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometer U-Pb
ages of granitoids from the so-called early granodiorites of the northwest Iberian Variscan …
