Antler orogeny it have been tried—east dipping subduction, west-dipping subduction, and strike-slip motion. None of them is without serious problems and the nature and driving force of the orogeny remain uncertain. This much is known concerning the Antler orogeny: Based on stratigraphic relations near Antler Peak, of the Battle Mountains, Roberts introduced the term Antler orogeny in an abstract as follows: "The earliest orogeny, here named the Antler orogeny ... took place during Mississippian (?) and early Pennsylvanian time." That abstract was followed in 1951 by his geologic map of the Antler Peak quadrangle in the text of which he described the
Brasiliano orogeny Brasiliano orogeny Brasiliano orogeny or Brasiliano cycle ( and "Ciclo Brasiliano") refers to a series of orogenies of Neoproterozoic age exposed chiefly in Brazil but also in other parts of South America. The Brasiliano orogeny is a regional name for the larger Pan-African/Brasiliano orogeny that extended not only in South America but across most of Gondwana. In a wide sense the Brasiliano orogeny includes also the Pampean orogeny. Almeida "et al". coined the term Brasiliano Orogenic Cycle in 1973. The orogeny led to the closure of several oceans and aulacogens including the Adamastor Ocean, the Goianides Ocean, the Puncoviscana Ocean
