Golconda Thrust
Major oceanic terrane that was thrust over central and northern Nevada, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golconda Thrust is a major oceanic terrane that was thrust over central and northern Nevada, North America, in possibly sometime between the late Permian and the late Jurassic.[1] It is considered equivalent to the Tobin thrust fault.[2]
It contains the Havallah sequence.[3]
Timing the Golconda Thrust
The time of the Golconda Thrust is not perfectly clear, and it may pre-date the Sonoma orogeny.[4] Other references suspect it appears to have thrust during the Sonoma orogeny.[5]
