“…The main objective of this study is to test the existence of an older (early Carboniferous) suite of Variscan intrusions in northwest Iberia that would broadly correspond to the G1 type of Capdevila et al (1973) or early granodiorites of De Pablo Maciá (1981). This early Carboniferous suite is widely represented in other areas of the WEVB (e.g., Schaltegger, 1997Schaltegger, , 2000Schulmann et al, 2002;Eichhorn et al, 2000;Cartannaz et al, 2007;Li et al, 2014;Mezger and Gerdes, 2016;Tabaud et al, 2015;Galán et al, 1997;Ledru et al, 2001;Rossi et al, 2009;Kubínová et al, 2017;Laurent et al, 2017;Žák et al, 2017), including the Ossa Morena zone of southwest Iberia (e.g., Dallmeyer et al, 1995;Ordóñez Casado, 1998;Montero et al, 2000;Ordóñez Casado et al, 2008;Romeo et al, 2006;Jesus et al, 2007;Pin et al, 2008;Pereira et al, 2009Pereira et al, , 2015Braid et al, 2012;Dupuis et al, 2014;Gladney et al, 2014;Cambeses et al, 2015).…”
