...Sandra J. Wyld Abstract Stratigraphic and structural analysis in Blue Mountain and nearby areas of northern Nevada yields new insight into the evolution of the Luning-Fencemaker fold-and-thrust belt, a Mesozoic orogenic belt that formed during tectonic closure of a Triassic backarc basin. Three...

... Lear basin in the Jackson Mountains ( Willden, 1958 , 1963 , 1964 ; Russell, 1981 , 1984 ; Maher, 1989 ). The proximity of the Jackson Mountains to the Luning-Fencemaker fold-and-thrust belt, a major contractional belt in northwest Nevada, led to a conclusion that deformation and thrusting...

..., the Luning-Fencemaker fold and thrust belt, the possible early history of the Central Nevada thrust belt, and the western thrusts of the southern Sevier belt. The timing of tectonic burial documented in this study and of high-flux magmatism in the arc supports the interpretation that the development...

... of the Jurassic and Cretaceous Winnemucca, Luning, and Fencemaker fold and thrust belts recognized farther to the south and is subparallel to other major Cordilleran lithotectonic belts in northeastern Nevada, including the edge of the Precambrian sialic crust. The wholesale eastward deflection of Cordilleran...

...John S. Oldow Abstract The Luning-Fencemaker fold and thrust belt of northwestern Nevada formed east of the Mesozoic Sierran arc in a back-arc setting where noncontinental crust localized marine deposition and subsequent deformation. The fold-thrust belt was active in Middle or Late Jurassic...

... normal faulting began in the middle Miocene. Observed Jurassic shortening is coeval with structures in the Luning-Fencemaker thrust belt to the west, and other strain documented across central-east Nevada and Utah, suggesting ∼100 km Middle-Late Jurassic shortening across the Sierra Nevada retroarc...

... associated with the Luning-Fencemaker thrust belt formed in response to northwest-southeast regional contraction, which began in the Middle or Late Jurassic and continued through the Early Cretaceous. Rocks deposited on the western flank of the basin did not experience northwest-southeast contraction...

..., regional Early Jurassic deformation is documented only in the Black Rock Desert, but it may have impacted a much larger area in this part of the Cordillera, based on relations in the Blue Mountain province of Oregon and the Luning-Fencemaker fold-and-thrust belt of central Nevada.
