Leaders: Yvette D. Kuiper (Colorado School of Mines) and Daniel P. Murray (URI)

Overview:  This trip was part of the virtual field guide “Correlations and comparisons of crustal blocks in eastern North America with northwest Africa and Iberia”, May 19-23, 2022, which in turn was created to accompany the following conference: IGCP683 “PreAtlantic geological connections among northwest Africa, Iberia and eastern North America”. This trip is downloadable.

It has been lightly edited according to NEIGC guidelines and to include new dates of plutonic rocks.

As a Virtual Trip, the stops can be done in any order. Since there is no Road Log, just information on the stops’ location and access is given.

This virtual field trip stands alone also and can also be experienced at a time of your choosing.
