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
Cadomian Orogeny Malo and Mancellian regions formed the orogeny. Crustal thickening took place afterwards. Secondly P. J. Treloar considers that the North Armorican Massif was put together from a series of terranes , their joins are the shear zones. The terranes are known as St Brieuc, St Malo and Mancellian terranes. Deformation in this model is caused by oblique subduction and is strike-slip, but not crustal thickening. The migmatite belts would then be explained by high heat flow in marginal basins. Cadomian Orogeny The Cadomian Orogeny was a tectonic event or series of events in the late Neoproterozoic, about 650–550 Ma, which
