Abstract
Cover: In Phillips et al., [DOI: 10.1002/2015TC003920], image shows simplified conceptual model illustrating the emplacement of the Peel‐Manning Ophiolite in the southern New England Orogen. (a) Convergence along a west‐dipping subduction zone during the Carboniferous. Components of earlier subduction stages are present as underplated ophiolitic and high‐pressure rocks. Abbreviations: Hz: Harzburgite. (b) Thrusting associated with active margin convergence results in shearing of high‐pressure rocks from the underlying subduction complex for intercalation within the basal shear zone of the ophiolite. Incipient exhumation of the ophiolite through the crust probably took place during convergence. (c) Extension of the overriding plate during the early Permian results in exposure of the attenuated, heavily serpentinized ophiolite. The high‐pressure rocks are located as exotic blocks in the basal, tectonized harzburgite layer of the ophiolite. See pp. 1979–2010.
