Magmatic and tectonic history of the Leech River Complex, Vancouver Island, British Columbia: Evidence for ridge-trench intersection and accretion of the Crescent Terrane
Wesley G. Groome,Derek J. Thorkelson,Richard M. Friedman,James K. Mortensen,Nick W. D. Massey,Daniel D. Marshall,Paul W. Layer +6 more
TL;DR: The Leech River Complex, part of the Pacifi c Rim Terrane, is a Cretaceous metasedimentary and metaigneous assemblage on southern Vancouver Island as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cenozoic tectono-thermal history of the Tordrillo Mountains, Alaska: Paleocene-Eocene ridge subduction, decreasing relief, and late Neogene faulting
Jeffrey A. Benowitz,Peter J. Haeussler,Paul W. Layer,Paul B. O'Sullivan,Wes K. Wallace,Robert J. Gillis +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, K-feldspar thermochronology of bedrock samples from the Tordrillo Mountains in the western Alaska Range complement existing U-Pb, 40Ar/39Ar and AFT (apatite fission track) data to provide constraints on Paleocene pluton emplacement, and cooling as well as Late Eocene to Miocene vertical movements and exhumation along fault-bounded blocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
South Anyui suture: tectono-stratigraphy, deformations, and principal tectonic events
TL;DR: In this article, geochronologic and structural data from the terranes of the South Anyui suture zone record a protracted deformational history before, during and after an Early Cretaceous collision of the passive margin of the Chukotka-Arctic Alaska continental block with the active continental margin of North Asian continent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uplift deduced from remanent magnetization of a proterozoic basic dyke and the baked country rock in the Hoting area, Central Sweden: a palaeomagnetic and 40Ar/39Ar study
TL;DR: Remanent magnetization in dyke contact zones in the Hoting area of the Fennoscandian Shield in the central part of Sweden has been studied in order to establish the ambient temperature of the host as discussed by the authors.
