> *New insights on polyphase deformation in the New England Appalachians *
>
>
> Reverse faults along the western front of the Berkshire and Green
> Mountains place very old basement rocks over younger Cambrian–Ordovician
> rocks, cutting across earlier structures
>
> formed during the Taconic Orogeny. Microstructures and Argon–argon (40Ar/
> 39Ar) dating show that these faults were reactivated multiple times
> beginning about 420 million years ago and continued for at least 70 million
> years.  40Ar/39Ar dating that was once thought to indicate slow cooling
> following the Taconic Orogeny, may in fact date the reactivation of these
> faults.  This talk will explore these new findings and how they relate to
> recent and ongoing results from seismic imaging of the lithospheric and
> mantle structure in the northern New England Appalachians.
