Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has seen models move beyond the
classical idea of continental drift by attempting to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of …

Phanerozoic primary tin and tungsten deposits and lithium–cesium–tantalum (LCT) type
pegmatites define discontinuous belts that reach several thousand kilometers length …

Detailed global plate motion models that provide a continuous description of plate
boundaries through time are an effective tool for exploring processes both at and below the …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean was the first ancient ocean to be identified following the
development of plate tectonics; its history has been fundamental in relating orogenesis and …

Major late Paleozoic faults, many with documented strike‐slip motion, have dissected the
Ordovician‐Devonian Appalachian orogen in the Maritime Provinces of Atlantic Canada …

The eastern edge of the Appalachian orogen is composed of a collection of Neoproterozoic–
early Paleozoic domains, Avalonia, Carolinia, Ganderia, Meguma, and Suwannee, which …

The appinite suite of rocks offers a unique opportunity to study the effect of water on the
generation, emplacement and crystallization history of mafic to felsic magma. The suite …

The supercontinent Pangea formed by the subduction of the Iapetus and Rheic oceans
between Gondwana, Laurentia, and Baltica during mid-to-late Paleozoic times. However …

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 …

Geochemical data from Katian to earliest Emsian (∼ 453–405 Ma) igneous rocks in
northeastern North America and the British Isles were compiled to identify tectono-magmatic …
