Terranes within the Iberian Massif: Correlations with West African Sequences

  • Chapter
The West African Orogens and Circum-Atlantic Correlatives

Part of the book series: IGCP-Project 233 ((IGCP 233))

Abstract

The Iberian Peninsula consists of two very different parts: (1) the eastern half which constitutes the westernmost extension of the Alpine orogen; and (2) the western half (Iberian Massif) representing the southwesternmost and largest piece of the so-called European Hercynian Foldbelt. Although Precambrian and Paleozoic inliers are scattered within the former, they were generally so strongly reactivated during the Alpine orogeny that any attempt of correlation with the Iberian Massif has as yet failed. The latter, on the other hand, has been extensively surveyed in recent decades, and a summary of the present state of the art constitutes the main objective of this contribution. A tectonostra-tigraphic terrane analysis perspective is preferred for this purpose. This will allow a more accurate unravelling of each individual terrane evolutionary history, which will in turn greatly facilitate correlation.
