The Antlerorogeny is a mountain building episode that is named for Antler Peak, at Battle Mountain, Nevada . The orogeny extensively deformed Paleozoic rocks of the Great Basin in Nevada and western Utah during Late Devonian and Early Mississippian time. In the late Devonian, the Antler volcanic island arc terrane collided with what was then the west coast of North America in the vicinity of today s border between Utah and Nevada. The collision zone is today signified by the geological alignment called the Carlin Unconformity or Carlin Trend , an area enriched in various ores including gold. It is also represented by the Roberts Mountains Thrust . It is broadly contemporary with the Acadian orogeny of eastern North America. The Antlerorogeny was first defined by the American geologist Ralph J. Roberts geologist Ralph J. Roberts . ref Roberts, R.J. 1949. Geology of the Antler Peak quadrangle, Nevada. US Geological Survey Open File Report. 108 p. ref ref Roberts, R.J. 1951. Geology of the Antler Peak quadrangle, Nevada.

Following the Late Devonian Antlerorogeny , it was the second major Accretion geology accretionary event along the Cordilleran margin with many more to come as the closure of the basin between the island arc of Sonomia and the North American continent. Evidence of this event can be seen throughout western North America, but most distinctly in northwest Nevada . To the east of the Sonoma Mountains lay a shallow basin. Sedimentation in the basin buried the earlier Antler orogen. The Sonoma orogeny spelled the end of westward dipping subduction. Shortly thereafter, east dipping subduction was initiated, possibly following or concurrently with a period of transform faulting, which truncated the continental margin. ref cite book last Baldridge first W.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Velvet antler is a mainstay of traditional Chinese medicine , probably second only to ginseng in importance. Velvet antler does not refer to the velvety skin on growing antlers, but rather the whole cartilaginous antler in a pre calcified stage. Typically the antler is cut off near the base after it is about two thirds of its potential full size, and before any significant calcification occurs. The antler is dried and is used powdered or in tea form for a wide variety of health remedy and health maintenance purposes. Velvet antler is said to be effective as an anti inflammatory, anti cancer, immune stimulant, and pro growth agent, though these claims have not been verified through scientific study. Moose , as all members of the deer family, will produce new antlers yearly primarily males, except in caribou reindeer . The bulls are not harmed by antler removal, which is generally done around June in the northern hemisphere. After the antlers are cut off the bull may grow a small antler pair to replace them or perhaps no regrowth, but the antler base is left, and that button will be shed early the following year, at the same time the whole antler would have been shed, when the new antlers start to grow. Exceptionally large elk antlers can weigh 50 lb 22.6 kg for a pair. These grow rapidly from about March or April until July again, Northern hemisphere . Most of the world s supply of velvet antler comes from Red Deer red deer and Elk elk or wapiti , including a large deer farming industry in New Zealand . A smaller percent is produced in America, mostly from elk. Due to the size and quality of Canadian and American elk antlers, they have been a preferred source of velvet. It is most often available in capsule form, containing 250 mg or 500 mg of dried velvet antler powder. The velvet antler is processed under USDA supervision ...

Jewelled Antler is a musical collective created in 1999 by Loren Chasse and Glenn Donaldson as an extension of their work in the organic drone folk noise group Thuja. The idea was to release handmade CD R s of various solo music solo and collaborative projects and one off bands, encompassing drone music drones , song s, electroacoustic sound manipulation, and field recording s. Jewelled Antler is perhaps best known for its Nature psychedelic music Psych or Outdoor Folk music Folk , in which whole album s are recorded in the field and or incorporate field recordings and the sounds of nature . Indeed besides a wide range of traditional and exotic stringed string instrument things and low tech electronic equipment, some of the musical instrument instrument s on their albums include pine cone s, Stream creeks , branches and crude harp s built from fallen trees. The Jewelled Antler Collective is a term that has been applied to a larger group of musicians working with Chasse and Donaldson or on their own in similar areas Steven R. Smith , Rob Reger, Donovan Quinn, Christine Boepple, Greg Bianchini, Keith Evans, Eleanor Harwood and Kerry McLaughlin. Projects such as the Blithe Sons, OF, the Ivytree, The Franciscan Hobbies, Floating Birthday Children, The Buried Civilizations, Tomes, the Famous Boating Party, Hala Strana , The Skygreen Leopards, Glassine, Child Readers, Dead Raven Choir and more have released albums under the Jewelled Antler banner.

The Nevadan Orogeny was a major mountain building event that took place along the western edge of ancient North America between the Mid to Late Jurassic between about 180 and 140 million years ago . ref cite web url http www.gorp.com parks guide travel ta yosemite hiking california sidwcmdev 056847.html last Shaffer first Jeffrey P. title Evolution of the Yosemite Landscape The Nevadan Orogeny work One Hundred Hikes in Yosemite ref The Nevadan orogeny was the first of three major mountain building episodes to transform Western North America between the Late Mesozoic and Early Cenozoic Eras, the latter two being the Sevier orogeny Sevier and Laramide orogeny , chronologically. Much like the two orogenies that followed, the Nevadan was caused by the subduction of Oceanic crust oceanic lithosphere at a subduction zone running along the edge of the North American continent. This resulted in relatively cool oceanic crust descending into the lithosphere very quickly, and steeply beneath the edge of the continent . Due to dehydration and release of volatiles from the subducted plate, the mantle above the down going plate was melted. This magma rose through the mantle wedge and the continental crust to produce an arc of extrusive volcanoes with large intrusive batholith s beneath. These intrusive batholiths are presently exposed as the Sierra Nevada batholith s. Due to the steep angle of the subducted plate, these were located relatively close to continent s edge.

The Laramide orogeny was a period of mountain building in western North America , which started in the Late Cretaceous , 70 to 80 million years ago, and ended 35 to 55 million years ago. The exact duration and ages of beginning and end of the orogeny are in dispute, as is the cause. The Laramide orogeny occurred in a series of pulses, with quiescent phases intervening. The major feature that was created by this orogeny was deep seated, thick skinned deformation , with evidence of this orogeny found from Canada to northern Mexico , with the easternmost extent of the mountain building represented by the Black Hills of South Dakota . The phenomenon is named for the Laramie Mountains of eastern Wyoming .

The Kaikoura Orogeny is a New Zealand orogeny that has given birth to the Southern Alps . It began 25 million years ago along the Alpine Fault . In this orogeny the Southern alps are being formed because the Pacific Plate is being pushed up over the Australian Plate . As the Pacific Plate rises over the Australian Plate it gains altitude, having the effect of giving birth to the Southern Alps. Uplift From 25 to 15 million years ago most of New Zealand was still covered by ocean. Almost all the land that broke the surface of the sea was Torlesse Greywacke . Then the plates started to collide, the crust of New Zealand came under pressure and the Alpine Fault was formed. Then from 15 million to 5 million years ago the Pacific Plate was rammed up over the Australian Plate along the newly created Alpine Fault. The pressure applied from 25 to 15 million years ago had simply been too much and the crust thickened. This gave birth to the first of the Southern Alps. Also during this period of time, chlorite grade schist was brought to the surface. From 5 million years ago to the present day the rate of uplift has accelerated. Oligoclase and biotite schist have also been pushed to the surface of the Earth. In total about 20 kilometres of uplift has taken place during the Kaikoura Orogeny but most of this has been eroded away. References The Rise and Fall of the Southern Alps, G.
