Variability over time in the sources of South Portuguese Zone turbidites: evide...

This study combines geochemical and geo- chronological data in order to decipher the provenance of Carboniferous turbidites from the South Portuguese Zone (SW Iberia). Major and trace elements of 25 samples of graywackes and mudstones from the Me´rtola (Visean), Mira (Serpukhovian), and Brejeira (Moscovian) Forma- tions were analyzed, and 363 U-Pb ages were obtained on detrital zircons from five samples of gray...

The missing Rheic Ocean magmatic arcs: Provenance analysis of Late Paleozoic

Early Carboniferous turbiditic sedimentary rocks in synorogenic basins located on both sides of the Rheic suture in SW Iberiawere studied for provenance analysis. An enigmatic feature of this suture, which resulted from closure of the Rheic Ocean with the amalgamation of Pangea in the Late Carboniferous, is that there are no recognizable mid- to Late Devonian subduction-related magmatic rocks,which should have ...

Detrital zircon from a late Paleozoic accretionary complex of SW Iberia (Varisc...

In this study we present new U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from greywackes and quartzites of the Pulo do Lobo Anticline (PLA) that have been interpreted to represent a Late Paleozoic accretionary complex in SW Iberia. The PLA separates the Ossa Morena Zone, which has a North- Gondwana affinity throughout Late Ediacaran and Early Paleozoic times, from the South Portuguese Zone, which is considered to be underlai...
