This paper provides a review of the evolution of palaeomagnetic directions and sequence of tectonic events in the European Variscan belt during Late Palaeozoic times. These data are correlated with palaeomagnetic records from Gondwana and Baltica in order to provide a large-scale geodynamic framework during the Carboniferous to Permian. The...

We combine structural observations, petrological data and 40Ar-39Ar ages for a stack of amphibolite-facies metasedimentary units that rims high-pressure (HP) granulite-facies felsic bodies exposed in the southern Bohemian Massif. The partly migmatitic Varied and Monotonous units, and the underlying Kaplice unit show a continuity of structures...

Structural and 40Ar/39Ar geochronological investigations of the Rehamna Massif (Meseta, Moroccan Variscan belt) provide new constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Alleghanian-Variscan orogen during the Upper Paleozoic. Three main tectonic events have been recognized: (1) Southward thrusting of an Ordovician sequence over the Proterozoic...

Metasandstones from early Cambrian to early Carboniferous stratigraphic successions were sampled in the Rehamna massif of the Western Meseta in Morocco. The early Cambrian sample shows a single Paleoproterozoic population at ca. 2 Ga suggesting a local basement source. The Ordovician sample is largely dominated by a Cryogenian-Ediacaran...

The European Variscan belt is a unique orogen that is covered by comprehensive sets of seismic and potential field data from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Polish Sudetes in the east. The combination of both allows for a new interpretation of the structure and evolution of the European Variscides at the continental scale. The European...

The Morocco Variscan belt is considered to be the south-western continuation of the European Carboniferous orogen on the NW Gondwana margin. The Rehamna Massif, a paleozoic massif located on the Meseta domain which is part of this belt, is affected by three main deformation events (D1, D2 and D3) of variable intensity and geometry, associated...
