An integrated interpretation of the late Paleozoic structural and geochronological record of
the Iberian Massif is presented and discussed under the perspective of a Gondwana …

NW Iberia includes a rather complete section of a Variscan suture, where different terranes
with continental or oceanic affinities appear with clear structural relationships. Three groups …

Abstract Iberia, Avalonia and the “Armorican” terranes form key constituents of the Variscan–
Appalachian orogen, but their Neoproterozoic origins along the northern Gondwanan …

A correlation between allochthonous units exposed in the NW Iberian Massif and the
southern Armorican Massif is carried out based on lithological associations, structural …

The Variscan metamorphic evolution of the autochthonous domain of NW and Central Iberia
is characterized by a Barrovian gradient followed by a high-temperature–low-pressure …

A rifting stage initiated the Variscan cycle in NW Gondwana, lasted from Terreneuvian to
Early Ordovician times and culminated in opening of the Rheic Ocean. The result of …

An arcuate structure, comparable in size with the Ibero-Armorican arc, is delineated by
Variscan folds and magnetic anomalies in the Central Iberian Zone of the Iberian Massif …

Orogenic curvature is a ubiquitous feature of mountain belts, and the plate tectonic and
geodynamic setting responsible for the development of curved orogens is a subject of …

Coupled structural and paleomagnetic analyses have shown that the northern Iberian bend
of the Variscan orogen, referred to as the Cantabrian Orocline, developed by vertical axis …

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 …
