Timing of Paleozoic Exhumation and Deformation of the High-Pressure Vestgӧtabreen Complex at the Motalafjella Nunatak, Svalbard

Timing of Paleozoic Exhumation and Deformation of the High-Pressure Vestgӧtabreen Complex at the Motalafjella Nunatak, Svalbard

The Vestgӧtabreen Complex exposed in the Southwestern Caledonian Basement Province of Svalbard comprises two Caledonian high-pressure units. In situ white mica <sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar and monazite Th-U-total Pb geochronology has resolved the timing of the tectonic evo...
