Mantle and geological evidence for a Late Jurassic – Cretaceous suture spanning North America
- Abstract:
-
Crustal blocks accreted to North America form two major belts which are separated by a tract of collapsed Jura-Cretaceous basins extending from Alaska to Mexico. Evidence of oceanic lithosphere that once underlay these basins is rare at the earth’s surface. Most of the lithosphere was subducted, which accounts for the general difficulty of reconstructing oceanic regions from surface evidence. However, this seafloor was not destroyed; it remains in the mantle beneath North America and is vi...
