Abstract The Ordovician of Scandinavia (ie Denmark, Norway and Sweden) has been
investigated for over two centuries and, through time, various chronostratigraphic schemes …

Although much is known about the Ordovician tectonics of the South European Variscides,
aspects of their geodynamic evolution and palaeogeographic reconstruction remain …

Over the years, several approaches have been proposed for map** crystalline rocks.
Among them, some have been formalised in stratigraphic codes, such as the …

We have carried a structural study across Kodiak accretionary complex in Alaska, USA, in
order to describe its thermal structure and decipher the processes of exhumation. The …

Abstract The Ivrea-Verbano Zone, in the Italian Southern Alps, samples a complete section
of middle to lower continental crust, which records the transition between the Variscan and …

Raman spectroscopy, applied to the carbonaceous matter (CM) present in fault zones, is a
potentially powerful tool to aid in the reconstruction of slip conditions, provided the …

Understanding how the lithosphere accommodates deformation along oblique convergent
plate boundaries is an important issue for unveiling orogenic belt exhumation. The Variscan …

This review illustrates the most important features of the Ordovician successions of the
Sardinian basement. We focus on the stratigraphy and tectonic structures in the tectonic …

Metamorphic reactions are commonly driven to completion within shear zones thanks to fluid
circulation, making the re‐equilibration of the mineral assemblage one of the dominant …

Phase equilibrium modelling is a powerful method for obtaining pressure–temperature (P–T)
estimates in metapelites; however, the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of …
