Kanimblan Orogeny Kanimblan orogen. Kanimblan Orogeny The Kanimblan orogeny was a mountain-building event in eastern Australia toward the end of Early Carboniferous time (about 318 million years ago). It was a terminal orogenic episode forming the Lachlan Fold Belt, which was also known as the Lachlan Geosyncline before the advent of the plate tectonics theory. Uplift and deformation occurred in a 1,000 km belt extending from Tasmania to Cape York. However the original width was 2,000 to 3,000 km wide, with the excess size absorbed by folding and thrust faulting. The Kanimblan orogeny also affected the Tasman Geosyncline, which is aligned parallel
Eburnean orogeny (LRC). Around 2090 Ma, a syntectonic trondhjemitic pluton intruded into the Archaean reelects of the Chegga series. Around 2070 Ma an asthenospheric upwelling released a large volume of post-orogenic magmas. Eburnian trends within the Eglab shield were repeatedly reactivated from the Neoproterozoic to the Mesozoic. Eburnean orogeny The Eburnean orogeny, or Eburnean cycle was a series of tectonic, metamorphic and plutonic events in what is now West Africa during the Paleoproterozoic era about 2200–2000 million years ago. During this period the Birimian domain in West Africa was established and structured. Eburnian faults are found in the Eglab shield to the
