Abstract
In contrast, rocks along the southern transect through the RIL zone mainly show Acadian ages of 408-390â¯Ma with local preservation of older ages. Acadian deformation occurred under low temperature/low pressure conditions (~250-450â¯Â°C, 2.5-4.6â¯kbar). Also Silurian terrestrial cover rocks were buried under these conditions. Acadian-Neoacadian deformation (393-340â¯Ma) becomes younger towards the northwest and progressively localized in transcurrent fault zones. This final foreland deformation at shallow crustal level established the Acadian/Neoacadian orogenic front in central Newfoundland slightly northwest of the RIL.
