The evolution of the Uralian orogen
@inproceedings{Puchkov2009TheEO, title={The evolution of the Uralian orogen}, author={Victor N. Puchkov}, year={2009} }
Abstract The Uralian orogen is located along the western flank of a huge (>4000 km long) intracontinental Uralo-Mongolian mobile belt. The orogen developed mainly between the Late Devonian and the Late Permian, with a brief resumption of orogenic activity in the Lower Jurassic and Pliocene–Quaternary time. Although its evolution is commonly related to the Variscides of Western Europe, its very distinctive features argue against a simple geodynamic connection. To a first order, the evolution of…
