The Eurekan deformation in the Arctic: an outline
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progressive environmental deterioration in northwestern Pangea leading to the latest Permian extinction
Stephen E. Grasby,Stephen E. Grasby,Benoit Beauchamp,David P.G. Bond,Paul B. Wignall,Cristina Talavera,Jennifer M. Galloway,Karsten Piepjohn,Lutz Reinhardt,Dierk Blomeier +9 more
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.
Eocene Compressive Deformation in Arctic Canada, N orth Greenland and Svalbard and Its Plate Teetonic Causes
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,
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural development of high-pressure metamorphic rocks on Syros island (Cyclades, Greece)
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic Map of the Ellesmerian and Eurekan deformation belts on Svalbard, North Greenland and the Queen Elizabeth Islands (Canadian Arctic)
Karsten Piepjohn,Werner von Gosen,Franz Tessensohn,Lutz Reinhardt,William C. McClelland,Winfried K. Dallmann,Christoph Gaedicke,J. Christopher Harrison +7 more
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.
