TL;DR: The evolution of the Eurekan deformation zones in the Arctic is closely related to the development of the circum-Greenland plate boundaries in Early Cenozoic times (53 -34 Ma) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed geochemical record of the Festningen section, Spitsbergen, was examined, showing a remarkable record of progressive environmental deterioration in northwestern Pangea during the extinction crises.

Abstract: The compressive deformation in the Eurekau fold belt of Canada as weil as in the Wcst-Spitsbergen Fold-and-thrust bell is related to northward movement of the Greenland plate between anomalies 24 and 13, During this period, spreading systems Wand E of Greenland, eonverging at a RRR triplejunetion S of Greenland, were active simultaneously. It is proposed that sinistral strike-slip movement in Nares Strait occurred before this period, when spreading occurred in the Baffin Bay system W of Greenland only and the entire Eurasian plate (with Greenland attached) moved to the NE,

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a history for the rocks of Syros, beginning with the formation of the oceanic crust (represented by the metabasites) to the present, taking into account recent zircon U-Pb geochronological constraints, lithostratigraphic observations, and published data on the Neogene structural evolution of the Aegean.

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of the major post-Ellesmerian and pre-Eurekan sedimentary basins, parts of the Caledonian orogen and structures of the Cenozoic Eurekan deformation are shown.
