It is an exposition of two small areas, both less than 25 km from the front of the Mississippian Roberts Mountains thrust, but each displaying a different, unique geologic terrane, previously undocumented in Nevada and perhaps in North America"--

Book excerpt: The geological and palaeontological records of climate change and evolutionary events reflect Earth’s widely fluctuating climate systems. Past climates hold the clues to understanding future developments. In this context, research on linked climate, biodiversity and sea-level fluctuations of the Devonian contributes to the general knowledge of deep-time climate dynamics. A fruitful co-operation between the International Geoscience Programme IGCP 596 and the International Subcommission on Devonian Stratigraphy (SDS) addressed the complex succession of climate-linked Devonian global events of varying magnitude. The primary goal of IGCP 596 was to assess mid-Palaeozoic climate changes and their impact on marine and terrestrial biodiversity using an interdisciplinary approach. The focus of SDS includes a revision of the eustatic sea-level curve and the integration of refined chrono- and biostratigraphy with modern chemo-, magneto-, cyclo-, event- and sequence stratigraphy. This enabled the much improved dating and correlation of abiotic perturbations, evolutionary changes, organism and ecosystem ranges. Results by 37 authors are presented in 14 chapters, which cover the entire Devonian.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Permian and Mesozoic contractional structures from southern California to northern Nevada requires correlation through south-central Nevada. After the Devonian-Mississippian Antler orogeny through the Permian-Triassic Sonoma orogeny and then up to the Sevier orogeny, south-central Nevada was thought to have remained tectonically inactive. However, Pennsylvanian through Jurassic age deformation is documented to the south in Death Valley and to the north. Identifying geometries, spatial relationships, and relative timing of deformations in the Timpahute Range, south-central Nevada, is an essential piece to completing the overall understanding of Nevada geology. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze deformational structures of the Timpahute Range and clarify their geometries, relative timing, regional correlation, and tectonic significance. All contraction in the Timpahute Range is constrained by Antler foreland basin units and the intrusion of the 102.9 ± 3.2 Ma Lincoln stock. New mapping at a scale of 1:12,000 documents three contractional episodes in the Timpahute Range, and cross-cutting relations from this study determine at least a relative timeline. The Tempiute Ridge Block contains a W-vergent fold that represents the earliest contractional event in the area. Next was the W-vergent Schofield Pass fault zone. The last contractional deformation formed E-vergent structures of the Central Nevada thrust belt which make up the Lincoln duplex. In collisional orogens, closely related thrust faults may join together in a fault system that includes such structures such as imbricate fans and duplexes. The Lincoln duplex, part of the Central Nevada thrust belt exposed in the Timpahute Range and southern Worthington Mountains, consists of folds and a sequence of thrust faults. New data suggest the Lincoln duplex is a variation of the hinterland dipping duplex, with out-of-sequence thrusts. Cenozoic extensional faults overprint the contractional structures. A series of NW-striking normal faults terminate at a major ENE-striking left-lateral strike-slip fault. This fault continues eastward through multiple ranges in south-central Nevada as part of the Timpahute lineament.
