Terrane processes at the margins of Gondwana: introduction

Abstract: Abstract:The process of terrane accretion is vital to the understanding of the formation of continental crust. Accretionary orogens affect over half of the globe and have a distinctively different evolution to Wilson-type orogens.

“…It was one of the birthplaces of 552 terrane theory (e.g., Vaughan et al, 2005b) and it continues to be a proving ground for 553 theories of supercontinental amalgamation (e.g., Cawood, 2005) …”

“…It appears then that during the Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary, large crystalline terranes, containing Jurassic-Cretaceous magmatic arcs, were emplaced upon the entire west coast of South America, and not necessarily only during the Paleozoic as commonly hypothesized (Vaughan et al 2005;Ramos 2008Ramos , 2009Ramos , 2010a. In our alternative model, eastward-vergent Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary fold-thrust belts and associated eastwardly migrating foredeep basins developed on cratonic South America nearly synchronously with collision of a composite arc-bearing ribbon continent.…”

“…The precise meaning of this term has been discussed elsewhere in the literature (Coney et al 1980;Howell 1989;Coombs 1997;Vaughan et al 2005) but we should emphasize here that in many cases of contrasting areas of Precambrian rocks, the existing data concerning 'terrane' demarcation and comparison with adjacent areas are relatively scarce and that in several cases these terranes may need to be redefined in the future. Alternatively the term domain may be used for these poorly defined 'possible' terranes.…”
