Masses of mixed rock called melanges have been recognized widely in the geologic record during the past 15 years. Geologists now involved in the study of melanges need this book because it provides classifications and images of the nature of melanges, discusses possible origins, and comments on their significance. Areas treated include Ghost Rocks Formation in AK, the foreland basin in NY, the Dunnage melange of Newfoundland, submarine slides for CA Coast Range units, the Kanar Melange in Pakistan, and the Alakir Cay unit of Turkey. An excellent introduction to melanges with high quality illustrations.
