This paper reviews global records of anoxic events of the Middle Devonian–earliest Mississippian, as well as the possible triggers and controls of these events. These “anoxic …
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 …
A wide range of various proxies (eg, mineralogy, organic carbon, inorganic geochemistry, C and Mo isotopes, and framboidal pyrite) were applied for interpretation of changing oceanic …
The Minas Fault Zone (MFZ) defines the boundary between the Avalon and Meguma terranes in the Canadian Appalachians and is exposed in mainland Nova Scotia and …
Abstract The end-Devonian global Hangenberg event (359 Ma) is among the most devastating mass extinction events in Earth's history, albeit not one of the “Big Five”. This …
Review of the major post–Middle Ordovician lithotectonic elements of the Appalachian orogen indicates that the middle to late Paleozoic geologic evolution of the Appalachian …
Abstract The late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian interval is characterized by global-scale orogenesis, rapid continental growth and profound changes in Earth systems. Orogenic …
