In the original Wilson cycle, the northern Appalachian–Caledonide orogen resulted from the
collision of two continental masses separated by a single ocean. One of these corresponds …

Abstract The Central Maine Basin is the largest expanse of deep‐marine, Upper Ordovician

Abstract The peraluminous Cardigan Pluton of New Hampshire contains restitic garnetites
with abundant peritectic garnet that serves as a basis for comparison with garnet in the host …

The Fredericton Trough in the Appalachians of southwestern New Brunswick is filled by the
Silurian Kingsclear Group, consisting mainly of turbidites, deposited during convergence of …

Abstract The Cardigan Pluton, located in southwestern New Hampshire, USA, is a strongly
peraluminous granodiorite that contains distinctive, meter-sized pods consisting of 50–70 …

Detrital ages constrain the timing of deposition, along-strike paleo-geographic variations
and the nature of erosional sources in sedimentary basins and can be used to constrain the …

Abstract The Fort Worth Basin in north-central Texas is a foreland basin of the Ouachita

Metasedimentary rocks of the Merrimack terrane (MT) originated as a thick cover sequence
on Ganderia consisting of sandstones, calcareous sandstones, pelitic rocks and turbidites. In …

A-type granites form in anorogenic settings and typically have high REE concentrations, K 2
