Abstract: The Lower Cretaceous Kootenai Formation in western Montana records the onset of foredeep sedimentation in the Idaho‐Montana retroforeland basin of the North American Cordillera. Contrasting models for sediment dispersal during Early Cretaceous time have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g38802.1
Abstract: Continental metamorphic core complexes of the northern North American Cordillera were exhumed during the early Paleogene while the Farallon–North American plate convergence rate remained high. Such convergent boundary conditions can excite localized mid-crustal exhumation in… read more here.
