A structural and geochronological 40Ar/39Ar study was performed in kilometre-scale middle and lower crustal lens-shaped domains dominated by a preserved subvertical foliation, surrounded by horizontally foliated migmatites. These domains occur within the Moldanubian nappe overlying the Brunia microcontinent at the eastern margin of the European...

Professor Karel Schulmann (Fig. 1) is a scientific leader in the domain of structural geology, tectonics of collisional and accretionary systems and geodynamic processes in general. His publication record is impressive both in terms of quality and quantity (190 refereed papers and over 6200 citations). Karel Schulmann has basically founded the...

Newly discovered eclogites, Early Cambrian carbonates and chloritoid-bearing metapelites form the Tsakhir Uul accretionary wedge, which was thrust during the Early Cambrian over the Mesoproterozoic Dzabkhan-Baydrag continent. The rock association of the wedge forms a tectonic window emerging through the hangingwall Khantaishir ophiolite unit,...

The geological inventory of the Variscan Bohemian Massif can be summarized as a result of Early Devonian subduction of the Saxothuringian ocean of unknown size underneath the eastern continental plate represented by the present-day Teplá-Barrandian and Moldanubian domains. During mid-Devonian, the Saxothuringian passive margin sequences and...

We provide a detailed description of the structures along a 300 km long and 50 km wide transect across the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) in southwestern Mongolia, covering the Precambrian Dzabkhan continental domain with overthrust Neoproterozoic ophiolites in the north (Lake Zone), a Silurian-Devonian passive margin association...
