The South Mountain Batholith (SMB; Nova Scotia, Canada) is the largest composite
batholith exposed in the Appalachians and lies entirely within the most outboard Meguma …

Abstract The late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian interval is characterized by global-scale
orogenesis, rapid continental growth and profound changes in Earth systems. Orogenic …

Abstract The Variscan Orogen in Iberia and the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco contains a
set of ophiolites formed between Neoproterozoic and Devonian times, during the complex …

The impact of fluid-rock interaction during deformation is difficult to characterize at the
regional scale because of the lack of continuous outcrops to provide textural evidence and …

Abstract New Rb–Sr isotopic data from South Portuguese Zone (SPZ) turbidites show that
the 87 Sr/86 Sr (t) ratio increases from the basal Mértola Formation (Visean–Serpukhovian …

Two wide-angle seismic reflection/refraction profiles were acquired to determine the velocity
characteristics of the Meguma terrane and adjacent Avalonia northeast of the Cobequid …

Oblique accretion zones often display transpressive, strike-slip and transtensive structures of
different orientations with respect to the convergence axis. The Late Devonian oblique …

The South Mountain Batholith (SMB) is a syn-tectonic composite batholith emplaced in the
upper crust within the Meguma terrane between 380 and 370 Ma during the later stages of …

We present data on the pressure and temperature (P–T) conditions experienced by
metamorphic rocks of the Meguma Terrane, Nova Scotia, Canada, also utilizing three …

The pre-accretionary shapes of cratonic margins form successions of promontories and re-
entrants inherited from the rifting of supercontinents. In accretionary orogens, the extent of …
