Phanerozoic flooding of North America and the Great Unconformity
AR Tasistro-Hart, FA Macdonald - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
The flooding record of North America has been used to infer patterns of global erosion and
sea level in deep time. Here, we utilize the geospatial dimension of the stratigraphic record …

Hit-and-run model for Cretaceous–Paleogene tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia
ABSTRACT The North American Cordillera experienced major contractional deformation
during the Cretaceous–Paleogene, which is commonly attributed to normal subduction …

3D numerical simulation-based targeting of skarn type mineralization within the Xuancheng-Magushan orefield, middle-lower Yangtze metallogenic belt, China
Recent exploration has identified a series of Cu-Mo skarn deposits within the Xuancheng-
Magushan orefield. The orefield forms part of the Nanling-Xuancheng mining district, which …

The “Nazas Arc” is a continental rift province: implications for Mesozoic tectonic reconstructions of the southwest Cordillera, US and Mexico
CJ Busby, E Centeno-García - Geosphere, 2022 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
We reject the notion of a Jurassic continental arc in eastern Mexico, termed the “Nazas arc,”
on geologic grounds. Instead, we propose that the Jurassic continental arc of the SW …

The jagged western edge of Laurentia: The role of inherited rifted lithospheric structure in subsequent tectonism in the Pacific Northwest
The rifted Precambrian margin of western Laurentia is hypothesized to have consisted of a
series of~ 330-oriented rift segments and~ 060-oriented transform segments. One difficulty …
