Tectonic Evolution of the Sevier-Laramide Hinterland, Thrust Belt, Foreland and Post-Orogenic Slab Rollback (180-20 Ma)

vii, 412 pages : illustrations (some color), maps (some color) ; 28 cm. This Special Paper focuses on the evolution of the crust of the hinterland of the orogen during the orogenic cycle, and describes the evolution of the crust and basins at metamorphic core complexes. The volume includes a regional study of the Sevier-Laramide orogens in the Wyoming province, a regional seismic study, strain analysis of Sevier and Laramide deformation, and detrital zircon provenance from the Pacific Coast to the foreland between the Jurassic-Eocene.
