Stratigraphic context, geochemical, and isotopic properties of magmatism in the Siluro-Devonian inliers of northern Maine: implications for the Acadian Orogeny

Stratigraphic context, geochemical, and isotopic properties of magmatism in the Siluro-Devonian inliers of northern Maine: implications for the Acadian Orogeny

This paper reports detailed stratigraphic analysis, whole rock geochemistry and Nd isotopic ratios of basalts from the northern Maine inliers. These data place constraints on first-order controversies about the tectonic conditions leading up to and during the early stages of the Acadian Orogeny in n...
