Terranes and the accretion history of the New Guinea orogen
The New Guinea orogen consists of a southern part that was formerly the northern edge of the Australia craton and a northern part that consists of at least thirty-two tectonostratigraphic terranes, many of them composite in nature. Many of these terranes are of oceanic affinity, but the western part of the orogen is dominated by terranes of continental affinity. An analysis of the accretion history of the orogen shows that the orogen was initiated in middle to late Oligocene time. Older Palaeogene deformation events, previously thought to mark the initial stages of orogenesis, occurred as amalgamation formed composite terranes at sites in ocean basins far removed from the edge of the Australian craton. The accretion that led to formation of the orogen took place because the northward-moving Australian craton entered subduction zones at which composite terranes had been assembled.
