TL;DR: A complete section of the southern realm of the Variscan orogenic belt can be restored in the Corsica-Sardinia segment as mentioned in this paper, where a nonmetamorphosed Palaeozoic succession lying on Panafrican mica schist related to a micro-continent (most likely Armorica or from a microcontinent from the Hun superterrane) that had drifted away directly from Gondwana.

TL;DR: The Maghrebian flysch zone was oceanized, at least partially, and acted as a transform fault between the mid Atlantic and the Ligurian ocean, both of them being open at that time.

TL;DR: In this paper, single-zircon dating by step-wise evaporation has established that successive granitic intrusions were emplaced in the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex (CBPC) during a short time span of about 10 Ma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a significant number of individual spot analyses is required to reach such precise information (i.e., more than 30−40 data) and show how to select the most efficient method of age calculation according to the U and Th geochemistry of the grains or grain domains that they are trying to date.

TL;DR: In this paper, a possible geodynamic evolution scenario for the Variscan convergence is proposed, where the high-compression regime of continental subduction developed during the initial subduction of the northern margin of Gondwana under Armorica in Silurian times.
