Rutile is an important carrier of high field strength elements (HFSE; Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, Hf,
Ta, W). Its Zr content is buffered in systems with quartz and zircon as coexisting phases. The …

In general, Archean rocks exhibit rather ordinary moderate-P-high-T facies series
metamorphism; neither blueschists nor any record of deep continental subduction and return …

High‐pressure granulites are characterised by the key associations garnet‐clinopyroxene‐
plagioclase‐quartz (in basic rocks) and kyanite‐K‐feldspar (metapelites and felsic rocks) …

Abstract The Variscan Bohemian Massif reveals evidence for two oceans. The Saxo-
Thuringian basin separated the microcontinents Franconia-Thuringia (N-Armorica) and …

It is still a matter of debate what were the protoliths of the felsic HP granulites; arguments for
major HP melting period giving rise to these rocks and the alternative view of the granulites …

Field evidence from the western Tianshan subduction complex in northwestern China
indicates that the high field strength elements Ti, Nb, and Ta were mobilized and thereby …

The structure and evolution of the Polish part of the Variscan Orogenic Belt is reviewed,
based on published data and interpretations. The Sudetic segment of the Variscides …

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 …

Spatially closely associated gabbros and eclogites of central Zambia represent relics of
subducted oceanic crust in a suture zone. The eclogites, which formed at 630–690° C and …

In order to portray the main differences and similarities between the Northeastern Variscan
segments (French Massif Central (FMC), Vosges, Black Forest and Bohemian Massif (BM)) …
