S U M M A R Y The Upper Carboniferous-Lower Triassic Pyongan Supergroup is exposed in an E-W trending syncline comprising the Samcheok Coalfield in eastern South Korea; it borders the southern margin of a NE-SW trending (Okcheon) zone of Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous deformation (Daebo Orogeny). Although a Recent field overprint widely recorded in Korean rocks is represented here, an ancient ...

Introduction: The Iberian Pyritic Belt (IPB) consists of a 250-km long geological unit included into the South-Portuguese geotectonical zone of the Iberian Peninsula. It is comprised by an acid volcanosedimentary complex ranging in age from upper Devonian to Carboniferous where different metallic ores were formed in response to hydrotermalism and tectonic related to the Variscan Orogeny [1, 2]....

Abstract Despite being a prominent continental-scale feature, the late Mesoproterozoic North American Midcontinent Rift did not result in break-up of Laurentia, and subsequently underwent structural inversion. The timing inversion is critical for constraining far-field effects orogenesis processes associated with rift's failure. Keweenaw fault northern Michigan (USA) major thrust structure rift...
