| It is noteworthy that such high magnetic susceptibilities are absent in many of the other granitoids of the Hercynian belt. |
| This makes them very unusual within the western European Hercynian belt and suggests a peculiar orogenic context. |
| Gold deposition was the most productive during the course of the Hercynian and Kimmerian metallogenic epochs and the Mezo-Cenozoic activation stage. |
| The collision between Gondwana and Laurasia led to the formation of the Appalachian belt in North America and the Hercynian Mountains in Europe. |
| Waved maritime heath grows over shallow podzolic soils which are underlain by Hercynian granite. |
| They are characteristic of the granitic uplands or moors of south-western England and of other Hercynian massifs in western and central Europe. |
