Mesozoic stratigraphy: the key to tectonic analysis of southern and central Alaska
David Lawrence Jones, Norman J. Silberling
1979, Open-File Report 79-1200
Southern and central Alaska constitutes an enormous tectonic mosaic composed of separate structural blocks and fragments that accreted to North America during Mesozoic and early Cenozoic time. Some of these blocks are far traveled, as shown by paleomagnetic and paleontologic studies. More than 25 discrete tectonostratigraphic terranes now are known,...
