Abstract
Remnants of the Hercynian orogen, disturbed by Alpine tectonics, occur widely along the ‘Calabrian-Peloritan arc’. Indications of former oceanic conditions, for example Palaeozoic ophiolites and original deep water sediments, are lacking. Metamorphism developed under intermediate to low pressure conditions; the post-metamorphic plutonism appears to be more compatible with intracontinental orogenic processes than with an active continental margin. The possible evolution of this segment of the Hercynian orogen is discussed.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
