During the Jurassic to Cretaceous periods (160 to 130 Ma), these rocks were subjected to compressional orogenesis related to large-scale plate convergence. During collision and orogenesis, platformal sequences may be entirely removed by uplift and erosion. Current or paleotopography and evolution of P-T conditions through time describe vertical crustal movements during orogenesis as well as the movement of heat through the crust. |
