This dissertation investigated Neoproterozoic–Devonian units of the western Laurentian passive margin and Roberts Mountains allochthon (RMA) and determined U-Pb detrital ages and Hf isotope zircon analyses that provide new insights into the early Paleozoic tectonics of western Laurentia. The three c...
