Continental metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) are widely distributed on Earth, primarily
exposed at convergent plate margins. These structural systems involve the exhumation of …

Abstract The Pinaleño Mountains of southeastern Arizona is the eastern‐most metamorphic
core complex in the southern US and northern Mexican Cordillera. This study investigates …

Abstract Middle Eocene to early Oligocene intrusions, widespread in the Ruby Mountains–
East Humboldt Range metamorphic core complex, Nevada, USA, provide insights into a …

The relationships between brittle detachment faulting and ductile shear zones in
metamorphic core complexes are often ambiguous. Although it is commonly assumed that …

Key Points Crustal thickness estimates, geophysical proxies, and thermochronology provide
independent constraints on the thinning history western USA Where crustal thickness …

The interaction between subduction zones and oceanic spreading centers is a common
tectonic process, and yet our understanding of how it is manifested in the geologic record is …

Metamorphic core complexes (MCC) in the North American Cordillera exhibit a strong
dichotomy. Those in the north formed in a thickened orogenic plateau during Paleogene …

Archean rocks exposed in the Beartooth Mountains, Montana and Wyoming, have
experienced a complex> 2.5 Gyr thermal history related to the long‐term geodynamic …

Sedimentary basins record crustal-scale tectonic processes related to the construction and
demise of orogenic belts, making them an invaluable archive for the reconstruction of the …

Metamorphic core complexes are ubiquitous in collapsed orogens globally and play a
primary role in crustal exhumation. We investigate the metamorphic history of the Ruby …
