Subduction and syn-collisional exhumation of a Paleozoic continental margin: an integrated study based on structures and P-T paths of the Basal Units in the Ordenes Complex (Galicia, Spain)

According to their metamorphic evolution, the Basal Units of the Galician Allochthonous Complexes are thought to represent a part of the margin of the Paleozoic Gondwana, subducted at the onset of the Variscan Orogeny. Variations in the P-T conditions of the first HP metamorphic event along the unit...
