    abstract = "This volume presents syntheses in twelve chapters of the tectonic evolution of continent-ocean transitions of North America (Canada-Mexico-U.S.A.) since the Precambrian. The syntheses are interpretations based on the 19 continent-ocean transects across North American margins published by GSA as part of its Decade of North American Geology (DNAG) series. The transitional region is the part of North America between the craton, little deformed in Phanerozoic time, and the modern ocean basins. The region developed heterogeneously within plate boundary zones that led to sequences of passive, collisional, and active margins that differ place to place. Nine chapters address individual segments of the transitional region, two consider active and passive margin tectonics topically, and one treats the evolution of Phanerozoic transitions of North America as a whole.",

    abstract = "This chapter presents a synthesis of the structure and Phanerozoic tectonic evolution of continent-ocean transitions around nearly the entire North American continent. Its objectives are to compare and contrast the modern transitions and Phanerozoic histories of specific margins of North America discussed in other chapters of this book and in the Transect displays (see Foreword) and to present ideas on processes in the evolution of continent-ocean transitions. A word about the focus on the continent’s margins and their place in the global scheme of tectonics may be warranted. The modern transitions between the North American continent and adjoining oceanic basins are where plate tectonics has most recently affected the continent aside from rigid translation. At active margins, where oceanic lithosphere underrides or slides along the continent, the development of the margin is ongoing and may have been continuous over a long time. In contrast, at passive margins where the continent has split and sea-floor spreading has occurred, the continent-ocean transition was developed in a discrete event and was discontinuous in time. At passive margins, the most recent North American transitions range from Holocene to mid-Mesozoic. At collisional margins, where the North American continent is or was on the underriding plate, the development of the margin was also discrete and discontinuous. As with passive margins, an existing collisional margin is generally the product of an ancient event. During the development of all margin types, the motions between the North American plate and adjacent plates have commonly been broadly distributed and nonuniform",

In the Phanerozoic, 26 stratigraphic levels of the formation of the of bituminous combustible shales and black shales were identified, which are characterized by periodicity of 20, 30, 40 years, which make up harmonics of higher ranks - 60, 80, 100 and 200 Ma, which correlate with tectonic, volcanic, astrophysical cycles. The concept of continuous-discontinuous in time and space formation of carbonaceous deposits, the formation of which occurred under the influence of endogenous (tectono-geodynamic) and exogenous (astrophysical) processes, is substantiated.",
