Book Description
"This Memoir focuses on 7 'turning points' that had specific and lasting impacts on Laurentian evolution: The Neoarchean, characterized by cratonization; the Paleoproterozoic and the initial assembly of Laurentia; the Mesoproterozoic southern margin of Laurentia; the Midcontinent rift and the Grenville orogeny; (5) the Neoproterozoic breakup of Rodinia; the mid-Paleozoic phases of the Appalachian-Caledonian orogen; and the Jurassic-Paleogene assembly of the North American Cordillerar"--

Book Description
Explores the tectonics interaction among the exotic terrians between Laurentia and Southwest Gondwana. The authors reveal data that sheds light on pre-Pangea connections between Laurentia and Southwest Gondwana. These data concern the presence of Ollenelus and associated fauna in the Precordillera of central Western South America; the common early Paleozoic paleomagnetic data, the presence of a large early Paleozoic carbo nate platform distinct from the Southwest Gondwanan clastic platforms associated with glacial deposits, and the exotic nature of the Grenville basement of this platform.

Book Description
"The Ediacaran-Ordovician of East Laurentia is a product of the 12th International Symposium on the Cambrian System held in eastern New York and western Vermont in July and August of 2007. This well illustrated, important contribution includes a new regional summary of Ediacaran-Ordovician epeirogeny, tectonics, eustasy, and oceanic oxygenation along the New York Promontory, a detailed week-long field trip guide, and abstracts of oral and poster presentations of international studies on the Cambrian Period."--Publisher's description.
