Apatite fission track (FT) and (U-Th)/He thermochronology and vitrinite reflectance (Ro) are used to study cooling and inferred denudation in 3 areas; (1) the Triassic-Early Jurassic Fundy Basin, a failed rift subsequently exhumed as part of the onshore southern Canadian Atlantic margin; (2) the Lat...
