Along the southeastern margin of the Appalachian-Caledonide orogen lies a collection of suspect terranes traditionally associated with the eastern (Avalonian/Gondwanan) margin of the early Paleozoic Iapetus ocean

and regional Silurian Red Mountain/Rockwood stratigraphy

it makes a beautiful addition to the library of anyone fascinated by volcanoes-one of nature's most exciting and extraordinary phenomena

Author: Robert S. Hildebrand Buy the e book (not available in print) This volume describes an iconoclastic model for the CretaceousTertiary development of the Cordilleran orogen. Hildebrand argues that the orogeny was collisional in origin, caused by westerly dipping subduction beneath an exotic ribbon continent named Rubia, and followed by
