Tectono-stratigraphic framework of Neoproterozoic to Cambrian strata, west-central U.S.: Protracted rifting, glaciation, and evolution of the North American Cordilleran margin

Stratigraphic, geochronologic, and geochemical patterns of Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sedimentary and volcanic rocks in Utah, Nevada, and SE Idaho record a dynamically evolving landscape along the North American Cordillera margin, which included: (1) initial development of intracratonic basins with deposition of siliciclastic strata of the Uinta Mountain Group from ~ 770 to 740 Ma; (2) early rifting and volcanism along a N–S (present day...
