Timing of collision initiation and location of the Scandian orogenic suture in the Scandinavian Caledonides

The Scandinavian Caledonides represent a classical example of a deeply eroded Himalayan-style orogen formed during Baltica–Laurentia continent collision. We propose that initial contact along continental-margin promontories led to a drop in convergence rate, resulting in increased slab rollback alon...
