On the presence of a Variscan metamorphism and deformation in the Sakar Unit of Strandja Massif

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Here we present the results from several studies confirming the existence of Variscan metamorphic and deformational events in the Sakar Unit of the Strandja Massif. Structural observations and new U-Pb geochronological data from the Mladinovo Complex confirm the existence of migmatisation and high-temperature shearing at 327 ± 2 Ma. The new geochronological data indicate similarities with basement of the Sredna Gora Zone, and it is interpreted that they were both part of the Variscan orogenic belt.
