Memoir 172 - Geophysical Framework of the Continental United States

Description:

Pakiser, L. C. and Mooney, W. D. / GEOPHYSICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, Boulder, 1989, cl, 826 pages, - 1 -, $ 30


The authors are leading U.S.G.S. seismologists who for decades have notably contributed to solid earth geophysics. In this volume they have produced a comprehensive review and evaluation of our knowledge of the structure of the crust and upper mantle of the continental United States, exclusive of Alaska, as determined from geophysical observations. This is a valuable background source for research on the structure, composition, and geologic evolution of the continental crust and upper mantle. With 840 pages and 3 foldout plates, it makes an excellent self-contained coursebook presenting: the geophysical methods of studying the crust and upper mantle; a region-by-region review of crustal and upper-mantle structure; continental overviews based on the different geophysical methods; and geologic and petrologic syntheses based largely on the geophysical results. The authors are from universities, government agencies, and research institutions.

Memoir 184 - Permian-Triassic Pangean Basins and Foldbelts along the Panthalassan Margin of Gondwanaland,

Description:

Veevers, J. J. and Powell, C. McA., Ed. /  PERMIAN-TRIASSIC PANGEAN BASINS AND FOLDBELTS ALONG THE PANTHALASSAN MARGIN OF GONDWANALAND, GSA M 184, Boulder, 1994, cl, 368 pages, - 3 -,  $ 20

The 12,500 km margin of Gondwanaland from Argentina to eastern Australia subsided during synchronous stages of Pangean extension and diachronous Panthalassan subduction that formed a foreland basin (Du Toit's "Gondwanide foredeep") by craton-ward thrusting of a foldbelt/magmatic arc ("Samfrau Orogenic Zone"). After reconstructing Permian-Triassic Gondwanaland, authors writing on South America, South Africa, Antarctica, and Australia profusely illustrate the relevant geology of each sector in maps and time-space diagrams underpinned by robust biostratigraphic and radiometric dating. The work is then drawn together in a stratigraphic-tectonic synthesis, which features the specifically Gondwanan glaciogene and coal facies, the Early and Middle Triassic coal gap, and the interplay of Pangean and Panthalassan tectonics.

M 187 -  Gondwana Master Basin of Peninsular India between Tethys and the Interior of the Gondwanaland Province of Pangea

Description:

Veevers, J. J. and Tewari, R. C. / GONDWANA MASTER BASIN OF PENINSULAR INDIA: BETWEEN TETHYS AND THE INTERIOR OF THE GONDWANALAND PROVINCE OF PANGEA, GSA M 187, Boulder, 1995, cl, 72 pages, - 1 -, $ 20

The Gondwana master basin grew during Permian and Triassic time on Precambrian basement between the Tethyan margin and interior rebound. Coal measures accumulated in valleys between growing faults. The Triassic succession lacked coal, except for coaly shale deposited in valleys renewed by Late Triassic Pangean rifting. Deposition ended during an Early Jurassic phase of intense transpression that dismembered the lobate master basin into individual structural basins. The basin lay 1000 km inboard of the passive, locally volcanic, margin of Tethyan Gondwanaland in a 10,000-km-wide radial drainage system that focused on an upland in conjugate East Antarctica. The basin evolved through interplay of the Gondwanan climate and biota with the Pangean tectonics of latest Carboniferous initial subsidence, Late Triassic rifting of and anisotropic basement, Early Jurassic internal dismemberment, and Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous breakup.

Memoir 191 - Nature Magnatism in the Appalachian Orogen

Description:

Sinha, A. K., Whalen, J. B., and Hogan, J. P. / THE NATURE OF MAGMATISM IN THE APPALACHIAN OROGEN, GSA M 191, Boulder, 1997, cl, 429 pages, - 1 -, $ 30 

The thermal evolution of mountain belts is commonly recorded in the distribution, origin, and ages of magmatism. In this volume, 20 contributors present the latest petrologic, isotopic, and geochemical evidence to highlight the contribution of igneous rocks to the evolution of the Appalachian orogen in both Canada and the United States. These papers emphasize the use of modern geochemical and petrologic data to discriminate the sources yielding magmas, and thus the nature of the crust and mantle. The wealth of data available in this work provides a significant steppingstone to more rigorous interpretation of the assembly and origin of the Appalachian orogen.

M 197 - Proterozoic Tectonic Evolution of the Grenville Orogen in North America

Description:

Tollo, R. P., et.al., Ed. / PROTEROZOIC TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE GRENVILLE OROGEN IN NORTH AMERICA, GSA M 197, Boulder, 2004, cl, 820 pages, - 1 -, $ 30

The geological evolution of the Grenville orogenic belt represents one of the most widespread episodes of crustal modification in Earth’s history. The 39 papers in this volume offer a system-wide perspective on rocks and processes of the Mesoproterozoic Grenville orogen and Appalachian inliers and include many multidisciplinary studies presenting results from integrated petrologic, geochemical, and geochronologic investigations. The volume includes contributions concerning the Grenvillian geology of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, focusing on both the tectonic evolution of the orogen and on innovative approaches to deciphering the igneous, metamorphic, structural, and metallogenic history of Mesoproterozoic assembly and Neoproterozoic rifting. The timing and regional correlation of events and processes is emphasized in order to bridge knowledge gaps within the orogen and to better understand the geodynamic framework.

Memoir 207 - Origin and Evolution of Precambrian High-Grade Gneiss Terranes, with Special Emphasis on the Limpopo Complex of Southern Africa

Description:

van Reeden, D. D. / ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF PC HITH-GRADE GNEISS TERRANES, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE LIMPOPO COMPLEX OF SOUTHERN AFRICA, GSA Memoir 207, Boulder, 2011, cl, 324 pages, - 1 -, $ 30

Many early Precambrian high-grade metamorphic provinces differ subtly from more recent ones, with higher temperatures at shallower depth in the crust. This may in part be attributed to higher crustal heat production. The question of what else might have been different presents a challenge, as the control “everything else being equal” is removed from the experiment. The first section of Memoir 207 deals with mineralogic and petrologic aspects of high-grade metamorphism, including melting and the nature of fluids. Chapters 6 to 13 focus on the Limpopo Complex of southern Africa, with case studies and reviews of its geochronology and crustal evolution, and of the regional structural and burial-exhumation history. Problems of unraveling the effects of successive tectonometamorphic events in a polymetamorphic province are addressed from the geochronologic and the petrologic perspectives. The last two chapters include numerical simulations of lower crustal diapirism in high-grade metamorphism, and a review of tectonic models for the Limpopo Complex. This well-rounded book is relevant to the big question of uniformitarianism in plate tectonics and its effects.

Memoir 213 - Linkages and Feedbacks in Orogenic Systems
Description:

Law, R. D., et.al. / Linkages and Feedbacks in Orogenic Systems, GSA Memoir 213, Boulder, 2017, cl, 372 pages, - 1 -, $ 25

Dedicated to Bob Hatcher, this Memoir explores linkages between tectonic processes through a series of field-, numerical- and laboratory-based studies, concentrating on feedback mechanisms within ancient and evolving orogens by which individual or linked tectonic processes may influence or predetermine the operation of other processes in space and time. Case studies cover a wide range of ancient to modern orogens: the Svecofennian of southern Finland, the Gyeonggi Massif of Korea, the Caledonides of northern Scotland, the Variscan of the East European craton, the Appalachians of the eastern United States, the European Alps and Dinarides, north Cascades of the northwestern United States, and the Himalaya. Emphasis is placed on integration between data sets developed from a wide range of analytical approaches, including: field mapping, seismic reflection profiling, strain analyses, petrology, isotopic dating, and numerical modeling-based studies of thermal evolution associated with tectonic processes such as thrust-related burial and exhumation.

Contents:
1. Evaluating kinematic displacement rate effects on transient thermal processes in thrust belts using coupled thermomechanical finite-element models
