The Mid-Variscan Allochthon: Keys from correlation, partial retrodeformation and plate-tectonic reconstruction to unlock the geometry of a non-cylindrical belt
Original language description
The non-cylindrical character of the Variscan Belt is established via a description of its most salient geologicalcharacteristics and correlations among the main and relatively minor massifs from Bohemia to Morocco on thebasis of a bibliographical synthesis. Using the firmly established tectonostratigraphic domains, the continuity ofVariscan zones is discussed, as well as the western termination of the one that occupies most of the central part ofthe belt. This zone is characterized by its allochthony, and breaks the continuity of the zonation, that is, thecylindrism of the belt. A proposal is made to call this zone the Mid-Variscan Allochthon and its wedge shape inmap view is explained performing a step by step restoration of late Variscan deformation. Once the geometry ofthe belt is interpreted by a succession of regionally significant deformation events, a kinematic reconstruction isproposed. It is based on recent developments on the knowledge of Paleozoic plate tectonics and intended to showthat the deformation model is compatible with current paleogeographical developments.
