The Variscan Belt of Western Europe 2

Abstract

The Variscan Belt of Western Europe 1 4.2.1. Eo-Variscan events 4.2.1.1. HP and UHP metamorphism (D0) Known since the end of the 19th century by the works of Lacroix and his students (Brière 1920, see Godard 2001 for more details), high-pressure (HP) rocks are mainly found in the klippes forming the UGU of the French Massif Central.deformation D 2 (see Chapter 1 of Volume 2. However, it is important to note that in the south of the FMC, the D 3 deformation of the para-autochthonous units and the Fold-and-Thrust Belt is synchronous with the deposition of the "Tufs anthracifères" formation.
