Pre‐Rift Orogenic Erosion Facilitates the Exhumation of Lower Crust at Rifted Margins

Abstract During the late‐stage of continental rifting, lower crustal rocks can be exhumed to the Earth's surface. Such exposure has been identified especially in rifts that developed within former orogens. These rifts exploited zones of lithospheric weakness created during previous mountain‐bui...
