...-dominated pulses are explained as products of slab-breakoff rather than contemporaneous slab subduction. The four phases of orogenesis associated with accretion of these microcontinents are known as the Taconic, Salinic, Acadian and Neoacadian orogenies, respectively. The Ordovician Taconic orogeny...

...Ian W. Hillenbrand; Michael L. Williams Abstract The Acadian and Neoacadian orogenies are widely recognized, yet poorly understood, tectono-thermal events in the New England Appalachian Mountains (USA). We quantified two phases of Paleozoic crustal thickening using geochemical proxies. Acadian (425...

... that the Blue Ridge and Inner Piedmont terranes were affected by three tectonothermal events: (1) 462–448 Ma (Taconic); (2) 395–340 Ma (Acadian and Neoacadian); and (3) 335–322 Ma, related to the early phase of the Alleghanian orogeny. By combining zircon rim ages with metamorphic isograds and other published...

... orogenic front. Orogenesis continued in the Late Devonian to Carboniferous Neoacadian orogeny. This phase was also associated with amphibolite-facies metamorphism and intrusion of I- and S-type granitoids. Widespread crustal melting and 50–60 km crustal thicknesses may have favored the development...

... mountains were formed by three mountain-building events closely spaced in time, including the Taconic (ca. 480–440 Ma), Neoacadian (ca. 375–340 Ma), and Alleghanian (ca. 330–265 Ma) orogenies. Notably, the end of the Neoacadian and the beginning of the Alleghanian are only separated by ~10 m.y., and some...

Others consider the Acadian orogeny to be largely absent in this region aside from local magmatism and metamorphism ( Hibbard, 2000 ). In either case, metamorphism documented for this Acadian-Neoacadian...
