Mesozoic tectonics of the Maria fold and thrust belt and McCoy basin : an examination of polyphase deformation and synorogenic response
… polyphase deformation in the MFTB and assessing synorogenic response in the McCoy Basin using established and new methods of structural geology and geochronology will resolve these questions and illuminate fundamental geologic processes related to orogenesis. This dissertation is divided into …

Long-Term Surface Uplift History of the Active Banda Arc-Continent Collision: Depth and Age Analysis of Foraminifera from Rote and Savu Islands, Indonesia
Analysis of foraminifera for synorogenic pelagic units of Rote and Savu Islands, Indonesia, reveals high rates of surface uplift in the past 1.5 Ma of the incipient Banda arc-continent collision. Paleodepth estimates are derived from benthonic forams and ages from planktonic forams. But estimates …

Paleomagnetic and Rock Magnetic Analysis of Upper Cretaceous Synorogenic Conglomerates From the Cordilleran Foreland Basin, Utah; Middle Triassic Moenkopi Formation From the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona; and Pseudotachylytes From the Albany-Fraser Orogenic Belt, Southwest Australia
… age constraint for the Upper Cretaceous synorogenic units from the Cordilleran foreland basin in northeast Utah, we have sampled the fine-grained, hematitic interbeds in the Upper Cretaceous Echo Canyon Conglomerate and Weber Canyon Conglomerate. Results show that hematitic, fine-grained …

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Coalmont Formation, Northwestern, North Park, Colorado, U.S.A.
… basin of north-central Colorado, preserves synorogenic strata from the Laramide orogeny. The Coalmont Formation consists of a variety of fluvial and lacustrine sedimentary facies that have not been documented in depth. Using geologic mapping, measured stratigraphic sections, outcrop scale …

Vorticity of Flow, Deformation Temperatures, and Strain Symmetry of the Moine Thrust Zone, NW Scotland: Constraining the Kinematic and Thermal Evolution of a Collisional Orogenic System
… volume loss or extrusion of material towards the synorogenic topographic surface. Extrusion towards the synorogenic topographic surface implies a causal link between upper and lower crustal processes, with significant implications for the kinematic, geometric, and kinetic (deformation rates) …

PALEOCLIMATE DURING DEPOSITION OF THE GREATER TWILIGHT PARK CONGLOMERATE, UPPER DEVONIAN, SOUTHEAST NEW YORK
… New York. The first major progradation of synorogenic gravels in this region appears during the deposition of the Frasnian-aged Oneonta Formation. The Oneonta Fm. is generally interpreted to be early Late Devonian in age and contains shale, sandstone, and conglomerate layers known as the …

The Middle Ordovician Knox unconformity, Virginia Appalachians: transition from passive to convergent margin
… warping of the shelf prior to foundering beneath synorogenic clastics. Such unconformities may localize hydrocarbons and base metal deposits (Pb-Zn), by controlling the distribution of permeable horizons adjacent to the unconformity.

Paleoenvironmental and tectonic reconstruction of the lower Eocene Ghazij Formation and related units, Balochistan, Pakistan: Implication for India -Asia collision
… of evidence: (1) the overall shallowing upward synorogenic sequence of the Ghazij Formation and related units, (2) proximal conglomerate facies (consisting mainly of limestone clasts) dominate in the west, whereas distal facies of sandstone and shale dominate in the east, (3) paleocurrent …

Geology of the Phil Pico Mountain Quadrangle, Daggett County, Utah, and Sweetwater County, Wyoming
… Formation. The Wasatch Formation is clearly synorogenic and contains an unroofing succession from the adjacent Uinta Mountains. On Phil Pico Mountain, the Wasatch Formation contains clasts eroded sequentially from the Permian Park City Formation, Permian Pennsylvanian Weber Sandstone, …

Neotectonics & Cooling History of the Southern Patagonian Andes
… deformation, peneplanation, and lack of synorogenic deposition in the Patagonian foreland. The subsequent period of stepwise exhumation likely resulted from a combination of pulsed glacial erosion and coeval neotectonic activity. The differences between the present and previously …

Structural Analysis of Rock Canyon Near Provo, Utah
A detailed structural study of Rock Canyon (near Provo, Utah) provides insight into Wasatch Range tectonics and fold-thrust belt kinematics. Excellent exposures along the E-W trending canyon allow the use of digital photography in conjunction with traditional field methods for a thorough analysis …
