Assembling The Blue Ridge and Inner Piedmont: Insights Into The Nature and Timing of Terrane Accretion in The Southern Appalachian Orogen From Geologic Mapping, Stratigraphy,Kinematic Analysis, Petrology, Geochemistry, and Modern Geochronology

Detailed geologic mapping, SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology, geochemistry, petrology, and structural and kinematic analyses were applied to decipher the structure, tectonic heredity, and Paleozoic accretionary history of suspect terranes of the southern Appalachian Blue Ridge (BR) and Inner Piedmont...
