[HTML][HTML] The Mid-Variscan Allochthon: Keys from correlation, partial retrodeformation and plate-tectonic reconstruction to unlock the geometry of a non-cylindrical belt
JRM Catalan, K Schulmann, JF Ghienne - Earth-Science Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
The non-cylindrical character of the Variscan Belt is established via a description of its most
salient geological characteristics and correlations among the main and relatively minor …

Geodynamic evolution of the SW Europe Variscides
The early evolution of SW Europe Variscides started by opening of the Rheic ocean at∼ 500

U–Pb geochronology of Variscan granitoids from the Moroccan Meseta (Northwest Africa): tectonic implications
This paper present new U–Pb geochronological data (LA-ICP MS on zircon) of granitoids

Rheic Ocean ophiolitic remnants in southern Iberia questioned by SHRIMP U‐Pb zircon ages on the Beja‐Acebuches amphibolites
The Rheic Ocean was a major oceanic domain between Avalonia and Gondwana in
Ordovician‐Silurian times. Most of the Paleozoic plate reconstructions assume that the …

The missing Rheic Ocean magmatic arcs: provenance analysis of Late Paleozoic sedimentary clastic rocks of SW Iberia
Early Carboniferous turbiditic sedimentary rocks in synorogenic basins located on both
sides of the Rheic suture in SW Iberia were studied for provenance analysis. An enigmatic …

Birth and demise of the Rheic Ocean magmatic arc (s): Combined U–Pb and Hf isotope analyses in detrital zircon from SW Iberia siliciclastic strata
Paleozoic continental reconstructions indicate that subduction of Rheic oceanic lithosphere
led to collision between Laurussia and Gondwana which was a major event in the formation …

Deformation and structure
The Variscan deformation in the Iberian Massif is related to the large-scale plate tectonic
scenario that drove to the destruction of the Rheic and other intervening oceans, to finally …
