The Western Margin of North America After the Antler Orogeny: Mississippian Through Late Permian History in the Basin and Range, Nevada

By James H. Trexler, Jr., Patricia H. Cashman, Walter S. Snyder, and Vladimir I. Davydov
Field-trip stops are near Elko and Carlin, Nevada. This trip focuses on the evidence for several Late Paleozoic deformation events that occurred between the Antler and Sonoma orogenies. Stops are at field localities that constrain the kinematics of folding and thrusting and the precise timing of angular unconformities that mark the deformation events.
