Correlation of hercynian units of the Iberian massif and southeastern France
The Olio de sapo anliform in the northwest Iberian Massif is made up of superposed allochthonous units of Paleozoic metasediments and Ordovician orthogneisses, similar to gneissic domes in the eastern Pyrenees and in the Montagne Noire of southern France. Their association with Hercynian fold-nappes...

| Sumario: | The Olio de sapo anliform in the northwest Iberian Massif is made up of superposed allochthonous units of Paleozoic metasediments and Ordovician orthogneisses, similar to gneissic domes in the eastern Pyrenees and in the Montagne Noire of southern France. Their association with Hercynian fold-nappes of comparable lithologies and structure points to a formerly continuous structure later sheared apart in the late Hercynian dextral megashear (North Pyrenean fault) which affected the Pyrenees and southern France and was also responsible for the formation of the domes |
