This book was released on 2017 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "New geologic mapping, high-precision U-Pb zircon geochronology, and isotope geochemistry provide insight into the early Mesozoic paleogeography and magmatic, stratigraphic, and structural evolution of the Jackson Mountains in the Black Rock Desert region of northwest Nevada. The magmatic history of the Jackson Mountains records Late Triassic to Early Jurassic (~215-195 Ma) marine deposition of the Boulder Creek Beds adjacent to the arc followed by the Early Jurassic (~193-189 Ma) eruption and emplacement of the Happy Creek Igneous Complex and associated plutons of the Early Mesozoic Intrusive Suite. Pb, Sr, and Nd isotopic data from Early Jurassic intrusive rocks of the Jackson Mountains plot along a binary mixing relationship of DMM and EMII end-member mantle components and suggest some contribution of enriched continental material in the production of melts. Detrital zircon from the Boulder Creek Beds show primarily unimodal Late Triassic-Early Jurassic age distributions implying marine deposition adjacent to an active Triassic and Jurassic volcanic arc with minimal input from other sources. Together with regional geologic and tectonic relationships, these data are consistent with Triassic-Early Jurassic paleogeographic reconstructions of the Jackson Mountains as a fringing-arc separated from the continent by a deep-marine basin. Though of shorter duration, the timing of magmatism in the Jackson Mountains overlaps with the timing of magmatism in the Olds Ferry terrane of the Blue Mountains Province. Pb, Sr, and Nd isotopic data from intrusive rocks of the Jackson Mountains consistently plot within the field of intrusive rocks from the Olds Ferry terrane. Comparison of detrital zircon ages in the Boulder Creek Beds and Blue Mountains Province is consistent with this relationship and paleogeographic setting. Combined with similarities in lithology and paleogeography, these new data provide compelling evidence for the correlation of Triassic-Jurassic arc-affinity rocks of the Jackson Mountains and the Olds Ferry terrane as fragments of the same arc separated and displaced by ~400 km of Cretaceous dextral translation. Furthermore, considering recent correlations of the Olds Ferry and Quesnellia terranes, these data indicate that the Jackson Mountains, Olds Ferry, and Quesnellia terranes may represent fragments of an early Mesozoic fringing-arc system. Two main phases of Mesozoic NW-SE shortening are documented in the Jackson Mountains. Between the middle Early Jurassic and early Late Jurassic (post ~189 Ma and pre ~162 Ma) NW-SE shortening resulted in the production of thrust faults, folding, and cleavage development."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a remarkable combination of intellect, self-confidence, engaging humility, and prodigious output of published work, William R. Dickinson influenced and challenged three generations of sedimentary geologists, igneous petrologists, tectonicists, sandstone petrologists, archaeologists, and other geoscientists. A key figure in the plate-tectonic revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, he explained how the distribution of sediments on Earth's surface could be traced to tectonic processes, and is widely recognized as a founder of modern sedimentary basin analysis. This volume consists of 31 chapters related to Dickinson's research interests; many of the authors are his former students, their students, and their students' students, demonstrating his continuing profound influence. The papers in this volume are an impressive tribute to the depth and breadth of Bill Dickinson's contributions to the geosciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 8th International Conference on Basement Tectonics was held in Butte, Montana, August 8-12,1988. Historically, basement tectonics conferences have focused on such topics as reactivation of faults, the influence of basement faults on metallogeny and hyrocarbon accumulation, and the use of geophysical and remote sensing techniques to interpret subsurface and surface geology. The 8th Conference diverged from past conferences in that a unifying theme was selected. Because ancient major terrane or cratonic boundaries are often postulated to be fault zones which are subsequently reactivated, the conference was organized to examine all aspects of ancient continental margins and terrane boundaries and to compare younger (Mesozoic) ones, about which more is known, with older (Paleozoic and Precambrian) ones. Moreover, because the 8th Conference was held in the northwestern United States, a greater emphasis was placed on the Mesozoic margin of western North America and the North American shield. The seven oral sessions and four poster sessions all dealt with aspects of the conference theme: characterization and comparison of ancient continental margins. The organizers extend their thanks to those individuals who graciously consented to serve as moderators for the oral sessions: John M. Bartley, Mark S. Gettings, M. Charles Gilbert, John M. Guilbert, Donald W. Hyndman, William P. Leeman, Robert Mason, and A. Krishna Sinha. The program with abstracts volume was prepared by S. E. Lewis and M. J. Bartholomew.
