AB Excellent exposures of high-pressure rocks developed in a Variscan continental subduction system outcrop inNW Iberia. The kinematic criteria provided by the high-pressure metamorphic fabrics can be used to infertectonic flow within the deep sections of this system. The dominant trend of the ductile flow is oblique tothat of the orogenic belt, indicating oblique continental subduction. Its azimuth, a few tens of degrees clockwiserelative to the orogenic trend, suggests dextral transpression between Gondwana and Laurussia duringcontinental subduction that took place at the Upper Devonian, and provides a consistent kinematic referencefor the earliest assembly of Pangaea in NW Iberia.
