The 350 Ma Beja Layered Gabbroic Sequence (LGS) is a Variscan synorogenic intrusion.
Tectono-magmatic evolution of LGS magma chamber reflects the Variscan stress field.
LGS polybaric magma replenishments (9–4 kbar) document underplating at the Moho.
Mesocratic suites associated to LGS derived from an equivalent mantle source.
Underplating gave rise to a deep crustal hot zone producing the mesocratic suites.
