Allochthonous terranes involved in the Variscan suture from NW Iberia: a review of their origin and tectonothermal evolution [Abstract]

NW Iberia includes a rather complete section of the Variscan suture, where different terranes with continental or oceanic affinities appear with clear structural relationships. Three groups of terranes, namely upper, ophiolitic and basal units and a frontal tectonic mélange appear in Galicia, in Cab...

Descripción
Sumario:NW Iberia includes a rather complete section of the Variscan suture, where different terranes with continental or oceanic affinities appear with clear structural relationships. Three groups of terranes, namely upper, ophiolitic and basal units and a frontal tectonic mélange appear in Galicia, in Cabo Ortegal, Órdenes and Malpica-Tui complexes. They constitute a huge allochthonous pile thrust over the Iberian parautochthonous and autochthonous domains, which represent the section of the Gondwanan margin that escaped continental subduction during the Variscan cycle (Schistose Domain of Galicia-Trás-os-Montes and Central Iberian Zone)
