Application of structural geology to mineral and energy resources of the Central and Western United States

Late Cretaceous–Recent Low‐Temperature Cooling History and Tectonic Analysis of the Zuni Mountains, West‐Central New Mexico

“…Based on compiled results, Thacker and Karlstrom (2019) similarly suggested an easterly sweep of onset of deformation in the northern Laramide region, as previously suggested by Perry et al (1992) and De-Celles (2004). A sweep of deformation could be a physical expression of Farallon flat slab subduction.…”

“…Regionally, researchers have suggested that Laramide deformation either displayed an east-or northeast-directed time-transgressive sweep of deformation (Copeland et al, 2017;DeCelles, 2004;Heller and Liu, 2016;Perry et al, 1992;Thacker & Karlstrom, 2019) or alternatively that deformation started synchronously at ca. 75 Ma (Dickinson et al, 1988).…”
