New insights into the Devonian palaeogeography of the North Atlantic region by detrital zircon geochronology
In the aftermath of the Caledonian orogeny, several extensional intramontane basins developed in the North Atlantic region. Thick successions of red-bed sediments formed within those basins during the Late Silurian to Early Carboniferous recording the late stages of the Caledonian orogeny. Previous...
