Microcontinent or group of continental fragments rifted away from Gondwana
Plate reconstruction during the late Devonian, showing the location of Armorica (Am) within the proposed Hun superterraneGeological map of the Armorican Massif, the main outcrop of the Armorican terrane
The Armorican terrane, Armorican terrane assemblage, or simply Armorica, was a microcontinent or group of continental fragments that rifted away from Gondwana towards the end of the Silurian and collided with Laurussia towards the end of the Carboniferous during the Variscan orogeny. The name is taken from Armorica, the Gaulish name for a large part of northwestern France that includes Brittany, as this matches closely to the present location of the rock units that form the main part of this terrane.
