The Saxothuringian Zone, Saxo-Thuringian zone or Saxothuringicum is in geology a structural or tectonic zone in the Hercynian or Variscan orogen (380-270 million years old) of central and western Europe. Because rocks of Hercynian age are in most places covered by younger strata, the zone is not everywhere visible at the surface. Places where it crops out are the northern Bohemian Massif, the Spessart, the Odenwald, the northern parts of the Black Forest and Vosges and the southern part of the Taunus. West of the Vosges terranes on both sides of the English Channel are also seen as part of the zone, for example the Lizard complex in Cornwall or the of the Armorican Massif (Brittany).

  • De Saxothuringische Zone is in de structurele geologie van centraal en westelijk Europa een zone binnen de Hercynische orogenese (380-270 miljoen jaar geleden). Omdat Hercynische gesteenten in grote delen van Europa overdekt worden door jongere gesteenten, ligt de zone niet overal aan het oppervlak. Plekken waar dit wel het geval is zijn het noorden van het Boheems Massief, de Spessart, het Odenwald, het noorden van het Zwarte Woud en de Vogezen en het zuiden van de Taunus. Verder westelijk in Europa worden terreinen aan weerszijden van Het Kanaal tot de zone gerekend, zoals het in Cornwall en delen van het noorden van het Armoricaans Massief. (nl)
