Crustal‐scale structure and evolution of an arc‐continent collision zone in the southern Urals, Russia

The outcropping geology of the southern Urals contains a well‐preserved accretionary complex related to the Paleozoic collision that took place between the Magnitogorsk arc and the former East European Craton. The crustal‐scale structure of the accretionary complex has been determined from outcropping field geology that is integrated with three reflection seismic profiles. The reflection profiles show the accretionary complex to be highly...
