Caledonian orogeny

Both were created during the creation of the Caledonian orogeny 500 million years ago.

The Caledonian orogeny was a period of intense metalliferous mineralisation.

The fault occurred in the Caledonian orogeny, during a late stage of this period of mountain building.

During the Caledonian orogeny the crater was buried under a several kilometers thick mountain chain.

The final stages of the Caledonian orogeny involved sinistral strike-slip faulting.

The Caledonian orogeny united the northern and southern portions of present-day Great Britain.

The Norwegian mountains were formed around 400 million years ago (Ma) during the Caledonian orogeny.

The mountain building included the Caledonian orogeny and the Alleghenian orogeny.

The Caledonian orogeny began forming a mountain chain from Norway to the Appalachians.

It has been shaped mainly by the Caledonian orogeny and the Variscan orogeny.

The Wear rises in the east Pennines, an upland area raised up during the Caledonian orogeny.

In western Norway, these gneisses were again deformed during the Caledonian orogeny ca. 400 Ma.

Probably there had been an earlier Atlantic which came to an end with the Caledonian orogeny, but this was the beginning of the ocean that we have today.

The Caledonian orogeny has been named for Caledonia, the Latin name for Scotland.

Current understanding has it that the Caledonian orogeny encompasses a number of tectonic phases that can laterally be diachronous.

This collision, which is related to the Caledonian orogeny, is called the Severnaya Zemlya episode.

During the Devonian Period the thickened welt of crust formed by the Caledonian orogeny began to collapse.

The southern margin of Laurussia was formed during the Caledonian orogeny of the Silurian period, about 420 million years ago.

The Highlands are formed from the remains of the old Caledonian mountain range in northern Europe, the Caledonian orogeny.

The Besopan Formation was metamorphosed and deformed during the Lower Palaeozoic Caledonian orogeny.

The Caledonian orogeny encompasses events that occurred from the Ordovician to Early Devonian, roughly 490-390 Ma.

The Caledonian orogeny was one of several orogenies that would eventually form the supercontinent Pangaea in the Late Paleozoic era.

The first phase that is often included in the Caledonian orogeny is the Finnmarkian phase at 505 million years ago (late Cambrian).

Large-scale Devonian extension, for example, followed immediately after the end of the Caledonian orogeny particularly in East Greenland and western Norway.

The formation of these has been influenced by the zig zag suture line of the Caledonian orogeny with its areas of crustal tension weakness.
