The pre-Mesozoic metamorphic geology of Mexico is summarized in this review through the
integral analysis of 11 deep orogenic systems composed altogether of more than 20 …

This paper presents a plate-scale model for the Precambrian growth and evolution of the
North American continent. The core of the North American continent (Canadian shield) came …

Strike–slip faults are often accompanied by a variety of structures, particularly at their tips.
The zones of additional fracturing are classified as tip‐damage zones. These zones can be …

The West Amazon Craton consists of rocks of the Sunsás Orogen and the Rondônia-
Juruena Province. The Sunsás Orogen comprises the western part of the Amazon Craton in …

The amalgamation of crustal blocks that composes the western cordillera of North America
has a long history of deformation across a broad zone. Investigations spanning a range of …

Detrital zircon and igneous zircon U-Pb ages are reported from Proterozoic metamorphic
rocks in northern New Mexico. These data give new insight into the provenance and …

Abstract The Rio Grande fluvial system has evolved dramatically over the past 8 Ma,
undergoing channel migrations, drainage capture and integration events, volcanic …

New U-Pb zircon ages, geochemistry, and Nd isotopic data are presented from three
localities in the Paleoproterozoic Mazatzal province of southern New Mexico, United States …

New field studies combined with U-Pb zircon geochronology constrain the ages of
deposition and sedimentary provenance of Paleoproterozoic quartzite successions exposed …

The Cenozoic Colorado Plateau physiographic province overlies multiple Precambrian
provinces. Its∼ 2-km elevation rim surrounds an∼ 1.6-km elevation core that is underlain by …
