Devonian–Mississippian collapse and core complex exhumation, and partial decoupling and partitioning of Eurekan deformation as alternatives to the Ellesmerian Orogeny in Spitsbergen
In the Late Devonian, Svalbard was affected by a short-lived episode of contraction called the Ellesmerian (Svalbardian) Orogeny, which resulted in top-west thrusting of Proterozoic basement rocks onto Devonian sedimentary strata along the Balliolbreen Fault, a major fault segment of the east-dippin...
