From obduction to collision: A transect across Ordovician to Devonian sedimentary basins of the Québec Appalachians, Canada

This three-day field trip focuses on the stratigraphy and the structural characteristics of the late- and post-Taconian sedimentary basins of the southern Québec Appalachians, with a particular emphasis on N-to-S and W-to-E structural and lithological variations. In order to discuss various aspects of the regional structural evolution of these basins, we will visit a series of key outcrops following three sections, the Beauce/Thetford-Mines sections, the Sherbrooke section, and the Coaticook section.
