... that the present-day structure of the Cap de Creus peninsula may at least in part result from alpine crustal-scale deformation, but also note that there are not many constraints on the details of that deformation. Our suggestion to ascribe the present-day structural geometry of northern Cap de Creus to an Alpine...

The Cap de Creus pegmatite field crops out in the easternmost part of the Cap de Creus peninsula and consists of more than 400 pegmatite bodies ( Fig. 1 ). Based on the classification of Černý (1991) , four...

... from the northern Cap de Creus peninsula, northeastern Spain. There, shear zone networks formed under retrograde, greenschist-facies metamorphic conditions in a transpressive strike-slip setting ( Carreras, 2001 ; Druguet, 2001 ). In the study area, deformation was dominated by simple shear ( Fusseis...
