This decompression is the record of the tectonic exhumation of the unit, caused by a D2 extenslonal event related with the collapse of the previously thickened Variscan crustspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Diffusional zoned garnetsCore-rim thermobarometryP-T pathTormes Gneissic DomeIberian Massifjournal articleopen access
