Long-lived (1.8–1.0 Ga) convergent orogen in southern Laurentia, its extensions to Australia and Baltica, and implications for refining Rodinia
Between 1.8 and 1.0 Ga (Grenville-age), a series of subparallel accretionary orogens were
added progressively to the southern edge of Laurentia. These belts now extend from …
