Tectonic overview of the Cordilleran orogen in the western United States
Abstract
Six of the 17 chapters in this work comprise a series of time slices synthesizing the latest Proterozoic to the latest Devonian; late Paleozoic, early Mesozoic, Late Jurassic to early Cretaceous; late Cretaceous to early Eocene; and post-Laramide geologic and tectonic history. Ten topical chapters provide overviews of regional, extensional, strike-slip, and fold and thrust tectonics, magmatism, metamorphism, sedimentary assemblages, metallogenic evolution, ophiolites, and paleomagnetics. Accompanying plates, many in color, include a regional tectonostratigraphic map, a series of time-slice syntheses, specialized maps showing patterns of metamorphism and of crustal extension, and a balanced cross-section across the Cordilleran thrust belt.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
