Geological similarity between Hercynian zones from Brittany and the Iberian Peninsula has led various authors [l-31 to propose that these zones were once continuous. Bard et ai. [3], for example, reconstmct the Hercynian 1bero.Armorican belt to find the position of the Iberian peninsula before the opening of the Bay of Biscay (1 50 to 200 my ago). They assume continuity of Hercynian structures ...

Copper mineralization in the Lower Paleozoic sedimentary cover of Anti-Atlas (Morocco) is continually being revised not only to improve its mining capacity, but also determine origin, which remains a matter debate. As evidenced by various models proposed, related research fragmented, localized, and confusing. The origin copper shared between synergistic epigenetic processes or superposition two...

the metamorphic complexes of south iran (namely sirdjan, hadji-abad and dolat-abad) are conspicuously related to two different cycles of orogeny and metamorphism . these two cycles are distinctly separate and have been mapped as such throughout the hadji - abad area . the older phase is definitely pre-cambrin, whereas the younger is considered to be early - kimmerian .

In the Catalonian Coastal Ranges, Paleozoic sedimentary and meta-sedimentary rocks crop out in severa1 areas, intruded by late tectonic Hercynian granitoids and separated by Mesozoic and Tertiary cover sediments. Large structures are often difficult to recognize, although a general east-west trend can be observed on the geological map. Deformation was accompanied by the development of cleavages...

in the last 150 year, most destructive earthquakes of kopeh dagh occurred near quchan. these earthquakes caused large damages to quchan (tchalenko, 1975; ambraseys and melville, 1982). the kopeh dagh zone accommodates a motion, by a combination of slip-partitioning in the nw, thrust faulting in the se, and anticlockwise block rotation in the central kopeh dagh (hollingsworth et al. 2006, 2008)....

The Bou Azzer district in Morocco has a long mining history since the beginning of XXst century during which it become only world producer Co from primary, hydrothermal arsenide ores. Orebodies are structurally controlled, and mainly distributed along fault contacts between Cryogenian ophiolite-related serpentinite bodies intrusive quartz diorite or, locally, ophiolitic gabbros or Ediacaran vol...
