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