North Atlantic workshop 11/2017, Durham
Status: Review of the role of inheritance in the formation of the Circum-North Atlantic region Tony Doré, Christian Schiffer, R. Foulger, Dieter Franke, Laurent Geoffroy, Laurent Gernigon, Bob Holdsworth, Ken McCaffrey, Alex Peace, Kenni Petersen, Randell Stephenson, Kim Welford (and others?) North Atlantic workshop 11/2017, Durham

Outline Introduction (Tony & Christian)
Definition and scales of inheritance/reactivation/reworking from lithospheric to grain scale (Bob) Overall North Atlantic structure (Erik) North Atlantic inheritance at different scales (observations and models/concepts) Wilson Cycle and modifications/extensions (Christian) Lithospheric scale reactivation Basin scale Sub-basin to grain scale Discussion (under construction) The Wilson Cycle revisited How important is reactivation for the NA. Where does it and where does it not work (map) What are the geological/geodynamic prerequisites Wider applications (is the NA typical for continental breakup? Can it be used as a template) Future directions (Imber paper)

North Atlantic structure
Relationships Strucutres Crustal thickness Magmatism Rifting Setting up the scene!

modifications/extensions
The Wilson Cycle and modifications/extensions History Supercontient Cycle Continental insulation Intraplate deformation Cases for which WC did not work (with map) Cratons (amalgamtion, no subsequent breakup) Rifting through old orogens (LS-BB)

Mantle fabrics/anisotropy
Orogenic mantle fabric Transpression -> maybe not parallel to first order axis of the Caledonides?
