Carboniferous age for the East Greenland "Devonian" basin: paleomagnetic and isotopic constraints on age, stratigraphy, and plate reconstructions: comment and reply

Article Abstract:

Hartz et al.'s suggestion that most of East Greenland's Devonian basin had experienced an Early Carboniferous era does not conform to biostratigraphic data as presented by earlier researchers. Hartz et al. used paleomagnetic and radiometric age data to come up with their findings. Their method, however, appears unreliable as compared to the abovementioned biostratigraphic data which show that the earliest time of the basin's existence cannot be earlier than the Tournaisian period.

Caledonian sole thrust of central East Greenland: a crustal-scale Devonian extensional detachment?: comment and reply

Article Abstract:

E. Hartz and A. Andresen's 1995 work 'Caledonian sole thrust of central East Greenland: a crustal-scale Devonian extensional detachment?' is considered an important contribution to central East Greenland Caledonian geology. Hartz and Andresen successfully identified a major extensional detachment separating high-grade gneisses and migmatites from the Eleonore Bay Supergroup. Corrections to certain errors detected in the work are offered.

Devonian, orogen-parallel, opposed extension in the central Norwegian Caledonides

Article Abstract:

The geology of western Norway was bidiretional, orogen-parallel, and opposed during the Devonian extension. The More-Trondelag Fault acted as a transfer zone for the Hoybakken detachment, triggering significant magmatic activity.
