Antler orogeny Antler orogeny in detail and somewhat refined its age span: "During the Antler orogeny, formations in Battle Mountain ranging in age from Ordovician to Mississippian (?) were complexly folded and faulted. As these rocks are unconformably overlain by the Battle Formation of Early Pennsylvanian (Des Moines) age, the orogeny probably took place during the Late Mississippian. The orogeny may have continued into Early Pennsylvanian, however, for the coarse conglomerates of the Battle Formation indicate derivation from a rugged highland area." In a subsequent influential paper, Roberts and others adjusted the age of the Antler orogeny as follows: "This belt is
East African Orogeny supercontinent (today known as Rodinia), a process that eventually culminated in the relatively short-lived Gondwanan supercontinent. Two partly incomparable scenarios have been proposed for this assembly. In one model, the EAO evolved from an accretionary orogeny involving the amalgamation of arcs and evolved into a collisional orogeny when the Neoproterozoic continent Azania collided with the Congo-Tanzania-Bangweulu Block at . In another model, the assembly of East Gondwana was a multiphase process which included two main periods of orogenesis: the older EAO ( ) and the younger Kuunga Orogeny ( ). In the former scenario the Kuunga Orogeny of the latter
