Abstract:The North American craton interior preserves a >1 Ga history of near surface processes that inform ongoing debates regarding timing and drivers of continental‐scale deformation and erosion associated with far‐field orogenesis. We tested various models of structural inversion on a major segment of the Midcontinent Rift along the Douglas Fault (DF) in northern Wisconsin, which accommodated ≳10 km of total vertical displacement. U‐Pb detrital zircon and vein calcite Δ47/U‐Pb thermochronometry from the hanging … Show more
