Tectonostratigraphic Terranes of the Circum-Pacific Region
Tectonostratigraphic Terranes of the Circum-Pacific Region is a seminal volume that provides a systematic framework for the study of crustal blocks or "terranes" across the Pacific basin. Edited by David G. Howell, the book defines these terranes as fault-bounded geologic entities with unique stratigraphic and geologic histories that distinguish them from adjacent regions. The text integrates paleomagnetic, biogeographic, and lithologic data to demonstrate how various fragments of continental and oceanic crust have been accreted to cratonic margins over geological time. It serves as a vital foundation for modern tectonic reconstructions and for understanding the complex orogenic processes that have shaped the Pacific Rim.
