TL;DR: The early evolution of SW Europe Variscides started by opening of the Rheic ocean at ∼500 Ma, splitting Avalonia from Armorica/Iberia as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Iberian Massif represents the largest continuous exposure of pre-Permian rocks within the Iberians and was first described in terms of a coherent tectonic unit by Staub (1926) who considered it to be comprised of Archean basement sequences that had been successively reworked during Caledonian and Herycnian orogenic events as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a bathymetric grid with all the available data sources in an area comprised between 24°W to 32°W and 36°N to 41°N is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, it is inferred that the Coimbra-Cordoba lineament could have been a suture zone which evolved into an intracontinental left-lateral shear zone during the Variscan orogeny of the Ibero-Armorican arc.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors interpret the Central Cordillera, in which basement rocks are thrust over Miocene sediments on both sides, as a pop-up of crustal scale, elevated above downward-flattening faults that dip towards each other and merge into a single deep detachment.
