Description

Special Publications 531

This volume assembles a collection of papers on the application of plate-tectonic principles to the understanding of ancient orogens, in honour of Maarten de Wit, who was guided throughout his research career by such applications. It begins with a synthesis of the early history of subduction along the Laurentian margin of Iapetus and its correlations to northwestern European orogens, and follows with an example of Mesoproterozoic intracontinental orogens of the Paleoproterozoic supercontinent Nuna. There are several papers on the processes responsible for the 700-500 Ma assembly of Gondwana and of the peripheral orogens recorded in “peri-Gondwanan” terranes, and three studies of localized orogenesis in the late stages of Gondwana/Laurasia collision. Two papers present studies of the tectonic evolution of Middle America Terranes which abutted Panthalassa and thus record both Paleozoic and Mesozoic-Cenozoic histories. A final paper highlights the influence of Hans Keidel on Alexander du Toit, an early champion of continental drift and a key contributor to our understanding of African-South American correlations.
