International audience The Ancestral Rocky Mountains system consists of a series of basement-cored uplifts and associated sedimentary basins that formed in southwestern Laurentia during Early Pennsylvanian-middle Permian time. This system was originally recognized by aprons of coarse, arkosic sandst...
