A review of the western part of the Altaids: a key to understanding the architecture of accretionary orogens
The Altaids is one of the largest accretionary collages in the world, and the tectonic styles of
the accretionary processes have been interpreted in several ways, including as an …

Recognition of ocean plate stratigraphy in accretionary orogens through Earth history: A record of 3.8 billion years of sea floor spreading, subduction, and accretion
Ocean plate stratigraphy (OPS) is a term used to describe the sequence of sedimentary and
volcanic rocks deposited on oceanic crust substratum from the time it forms at a spreading …

Mélanges through time: Life cycle of the world's largest Archean mélange compared with Mesozoic and Paleozoic subduction-accretion-collision mélanges
Mélanges represent a significant component of collisional and accretionary orogenic belts.
We present a comparison of subduction-accretion mélanges of different ages to test how …
