Extensional tectonics in the Caledonides of southern Norway, an overview
The extensional collapse of the Scandinavian Caledonides resulted in rapid tectonic denudation of the orogen, exhumation of highand ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks and provided a structural template for the formation of Devonian supra-detachment sedimentary basins. The geometry and intensity of the extensional deformation show considerable variation vertically in the crustal section as we...
متن کاملSouth Armorican Shear Zone and Continental Fit before the Opening of the Bay of Biscay
Geological similarity between Hercynian zones from Brittany and the Iberian Peninsula has led various authors [l-31 to propose that these zones were once continuous. Bard et ai. [3], for example, reconstmct the Hercynian 1bero.Armorican belt to find the position of the Iberian peninsula before the opening of the Bay of Biscay (1 50 to 200 my ago). They assume continuity of Hercynian structures ...

متن کاملLate Mesozoic extensional tectonics in the North China block: a crustal response to subcontinental mantle removal?
– In the North China block, Cretaceous extensional tectonics is expressed by numerous syntectonic plutons bounded by ductile normal faults and several metamorphic core complexes (MCC). Cretaceous half-grabens filled by continental terrigenous deposits are widespread. The examples of MCC from South Liaoning Peninsula, Yiwulüshan, Hohhot as well as the Yunmengshan syntectonic pluton spread along ...
متن کاملGeology of the West Margin of the Shuswap Terrane near Sicamous Implications for Tertiary Extensional Tectonics
Recent field and geochronological investigations. in conjunction with LITHOPROBE seismic surveys, have led to the recognition of crust&scale, low to moderate-angle, Eocene extensional faults and shear ZOIIL‘S in the southern Omineca Belt. The present study focuses on documentation of the Eagle River fault, an extensional shear zone that delineates the western boundary of the Shuswap metamorphic...
