Abstract The Tasmanides of eastern Australia record the break-up of Rodinia, followed by
the growth of orogenic belts along the eastern margin of Gondwana. Spatially, the …

Tectonic activity in convergent plate boundaries commonly involves backward migration
(rollback) of narrow subducting slabs and segmentation of subduction zones through slab …

A long and detailed pole path has been defined from ignimbritic successions across the
Tamworth Belt forearc basin of a Carboniferous continental arc in the southern New England …

We present zircon U–Pb ages and geochemical data on the late Triassic mafic dikes
(diabase) and felsic volcanic rocks (rhyolite and rhyolitic tuffs) in the East Kunlun Orogenic …

Abstract The Neoproterozoic to end-Paleozoic Terra Australis orogen extended along the
Gondwana margin of the paleo–Pacific Ocean, and it now provides a detailed record of …

A series of sharp bends (oroclines) are recognized in the Paleozoic to early Mesozoic New
England Orogen of eastern Australia. The exact geometry and origin of these bends is …

Abstract The Alpine Orogen in the Mediterranean region exhibits a series of orogenic
curvatures (oroclines). The evolution of these oroclines is relatively well constrained by a …

U–Pb and Hf isotope analysis of zircons from granitoids of the Permian–Triassic New
England Batholith (eastern Australia) was carried out to provide constraints on the evolution …

Abstract The New England orogen of eastern Australia is characterized by tight orogenic
curvatures (oroclines). Oroclinal bending commenced in the Early Permian during a period …

Carboniferous to Lower Permian successions along the western border of the Tamworth Belt
between Wallabadah and Muswellbrook were remapped to clarify the stratigraphy and …
