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 …

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

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 …

Multidisciplinary studies of geotransects across the North European Plain and Southern
North Sea, and geological reexamination of the Variscides of the North Bohemian Massif …

Multidisciplinary studies undertaken within the EU-funded PACE Network have permitted a
new 3-D reassessment of the relationships between the principal crustal blocks abutting …

Abstract The NW Iberian Allochthon and the Teplá-Barrandian and Moldanubian zones
represent the internal parts of the Variscan belt in their respective domains. A correlation …

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 …

Early Palaeozoic bimodal rift‐related magmatism is widespread throughout much of the
Variscides of Europe. It is traceable from the Polish Sudetes to NW Iberia. Granitic plutonism …

Geophysical and geological data from the eastern sector of the Central European Variscan
belt are presented and reviewed in the regional tectonic context. Matched filtering of isostatic …

The Central-Sudetic ophiolites (CSO), including the largest and best-studied Ślęża ophiolite,
are relatively well-preserved, complete Palaeozoic ophiolitic sequences at the NE margin of …
