Abstract

The SOIC is a subrounded (up to 7 km long) calc-alkaline plutonic group structurally located in a wedge bounded by two main faults (Romeo et al. in J Struct Geol 28:1821–1834, 2006a, Romeo et al. in Geol Mag 145:345–359, 2008): the Cherneca Fault to the north, and the Zufre Fault to the south.
