| Therefore, the Lewisian rocks from the Assynt terrane of the Caledonian foreland are an unlikely source for any of the sediment. |
|
| The collision was accompanied by left-lateral strike slip and terrane displacement. |
|
| The sills are structurally disrupted by the same tectonic features that imbricate other elements of the Bainang terrane stratigraphy. |
|
| These rocks are interpreted as a forearc succession that developed in association with north-directed subduction beneath the Lhasa terrane. |
|
| The Mannin Thrust is identified as a major imbricating structure within a continental arc, but not a terrane boundary. |
|
| However, this does not prove that the Moine rocks necessarily constitute an allochthonous terrane in the North American sense. |
|
| The Xigaze terrane incorporates a 5000-8000 m thick succession of volcaniclastic turbidites. |
|
| Some parts of the accreted terrane boundary have been engulfed by plutons and overlapped by Silurian, Devonian, and upper Paleozoic cover rocks. |
|
| From palaeomagnetism we can determine palaeolatitude and the rotation of a terrane through time, but the palaeomagnetic data give no insight into palaeolongitude. |
|
| The zircon data clearly lead to the conclusion that a Proterozoic terrane is the main detritus source because of the preponderance of grains from this age. |
|
| Detrital monazite will not survive sedimentary recycling as well as zircon, so it provides a better estimate of the age of the most recent terrane erosion. |
|
| Arkoses were, therefore, presumed to be derived from the erosion of a granitic terrane characterized by an arid or glacial climate. |
|
| The modern sites of the terrane boundaries bear little direct relationships to the original palaeogeographical boundaries in the Early Palaeozoic. |
|
| They analyzed veins of rock that had been formed by flash heating in a Precambrian terrane in Norway. |
|
| You are on the low side of the learning curve and don't even know terrain from terrane. |
|
| It appears likely that this terrane formed part of an originally more extensive orogenic belt of Late Pan-African age. |
|
| These igneous rocks record the extensive magmatism that resulted from northward subduction of Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath the Lhasa terrane. |
|
| We contrast the geological development of the Bainang terrane with that of other terranes in the region and consider this in the broader context of Neotethys evolution. |
|
| The collision of a terrane with the eastern edge of the continent during the Taconic orogeny caused the continental margin to flex and the sedimentary basin to deepen. |
|
| You simply dial up the type of terrane you have to cross and it does the rest, with style. |
|
|
|
| Paleocurrent and facies information suggest that the Mira terrane sources were located to the northwest at the time of deposition. |
|
| Under such conditions, irrespective of the climate, weathering processes are incomplete and the sands derived from such terrane are high in feldspar content. |
|
| There was a second episode of rifting and separation, which started about 360 million years ago and initiated a basin floored by oceanic crust that today is represented by Slide Mountain terrane in the Omineca Belt. |
|
| In southern British Columbia, the Mesozoic volcanic chain was built partly on still older Quesnellian volcanic arc rocks and partly on oceanic rocks of Slide Mountain terrane. |
|
| They have a wide variety of applications that include interpretation of geochemical surveys for mineral exploration and identification of terrane hazards and land suitability for land-use planning and project management. |
|
| The dominant zircon population in the Ellsworth sample has an age of 545 ± 4 Ma, which is essentially identical to that of the Matthews Lake sandstone in the New River terrane in New Brunswick. |
|
| Croix belt as shelf and basinal equivalents of the same terrane. |
|
| The terrane is polydeformed by Acadian and Alleghenian tectonic pulses, presenting the full gamut of geologic mapping problems that must be addressed by GIS software. |
|
| The Iapetus Suture runs through the north and west of the state, being underlain by the ancient Laurentian terrane, and the south and east underlain by the Avalonian terrane. |
|
| Recent mapping of the Meguma terrane in Nova Scotia has led to the identification and division of several mappable units within the Halifax and Goldenville groups. |
|
| Late Ordovician to Early Silurian conodont faunas from the Kolyma terrane, Omulev Mountains, Northeast Russia, and their paleobiogeographic affinity. |
|
| In Mysidiella newtonae n. sp., from the early Norian of the Wallowa Terrane of Oregon, the lunule is even shorter and more deeply incurved than in M. orientalis. |
|
| The Peter Lake Property consists of 24 claims totalling 1403 Ha located in the Mont-Laurier Terrane, in the Central Grenville Province, Quebec. |
|
| For a start some of the rocks in this region belong to a sedimentary sequence known as the Longford-Down Terrane. |
|
| The majority of the rest of England and Wales north of the Variscan Front are considered to constitute the Avalon Composite Terrane. |
|
| The Hebridean Terrane is defined to the east by the Moine Thrust, beyond which lies the Northern Highlands Terrane. |
|
| In the south, the Andes share a long boundary with the former Patagonia Terrane. |
|
| The Lewisian complex or Lewisian gneiss is a suite of Precambrian metamorphic rocks that outcrop in the northwestern part of Scotland, forming part of the Hebridean Terrane. |
|
| From north to south these are the Kyrenia Terrane, the Circum-Troodos sedimentary succession, the Troodos Ophiolite complex, and the Mamonia Complex in the south-west. |
