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 …

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 …

The early evolution of SW Europe Variscides started by opening of the Rheic ocean at∼ 500
Ma, splitting Avalonia from Armorica/Iberia. Subduction on the SE side of Rheic generated …

IBERSEIS, a 303 km long (20 s) deep seismic reflection profile, was acquired across the
Variscan belt in SW Iberian Peninsula. The acquisition parameters were designed to obtain …

Detrital zircons from late Neoproterozoic rocks of the peri-Gondwanan Cadomian belt of SW
Iberia and north Armorican Domain of Brittany record Neoproterozoic (ca. 860–550 Ma) …

By confronting different geological and geophysical data, we attempt to reconstruct the
Variscan–Alleghanian orogenic belt, with especial emphasis on the links between Iberia …

Integration of stress indicator data, gravity data, crustal kinematics data, and analysis of
topography and recent vertical motions demonstrates the occurrence of consistently oriented …

Mainland Portugal, on the southwestern edge of the European continent, is located directly
north of the boundary between the Eurasian and Nubian plates. It lies in a region of slow …

Abstract New SHRIMP U-Pb geochronogical data on detrital zircons from the South
Portuguese Zone (SPZ) in SW Iberia and the Sehoul Block in northwest Morocco are …

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 …
