Tectonic History of Northern Nevada

Tectonic history of northern Nevada basement begins with amalgamation of the
supercontinent Rodinia along the Cheyenne lineament, an east west Paleoproterozoic
suture and mobile belt between Archean cratons on the north and Proterozoic terranes
on the south. East of Park City, Utah this boundary is a suture, which becomes
a widening mobile belt westward into northern Nevada.
