The Betic-Rif arc and its orogenic hinterland: a review
The Betic-Rif arc is one of the smallest and tightest orogenic arcs on Earth, and together with
its extensional hinterland, the Alborán Domain, it formed between two colliding continents …

Faults (shear zones) in the Earth's mantle
Geodetic data support a short-term continental deformation localized in faults bounding
lithospheric blocks. Whether major “faults” observed at the surface affect the lithospheric …

Origin and consequences of western Mediterranean subduction, rollback, and slab segmentation
The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and
separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …

Diversity of mafic rocks in the Ronda peridotite: evidence for pervasive melt–rock reaction during heating of subcontinental lithosphere by upwelling asthenosphere
On the basis of their structural and compositional characteristics, mafic rocks in the Ronda
peridotite are classified into four groups: group A (garnet-bearing rocks) occurring in the …

Origin of pyroxenite–peridotite veined mantle by refertilization reactions: evidence from the Ronda peridotite (Southern Spain)
The Ronda orogenic peridotite (southern Spain) contains a variety of pyroxene-rich rocks
ranging from high-pressure garnet granulites and pyroxenites to low-pressure plagioclase …

The control of precursor brittle fracture and fluid–rock interaction on the development of single and paired ductile shear zones
Ductile shear zones can occur as relatively isolated single structures, as arrays, or as
characteristic paired zones. In continuous glaciated exposures of metagranodiorites from the …

Origin and significance of spinel and garnet pyroxenites in the shallow lithospheric mantle: Ultramafic massifs in orogenic belts in Western Europe and NW Africa
H Downes - Lithos, 2007 - Elsevier
Anhydrous spinel and garnet pyroxenites form a small (< 10%) but integral part of the
shallow sub-continental lithospheric mantle. They occur as layers or dykes within …

The recrystallization front of the Ronda peridotite: evidence for melting and thermal erosion of subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the Alboran Basin
Evidence for a major heating event accompanied by decompression was recently reported
from crustal rocks drilled in the Alboran basin. The metamorphic evolution recorded by these …

Origin of the recrystallisation front in the Ronda peridotite by km-scale pervasive porous melt flow
DV der Wal, JL Bodinier - Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 1996 - Springer
It is well established that porous melt flow in the upper mantle may significantly affect partial
mantle melt compositions. Less well established are the length-scale of porous flow and …
