The New England Orogen, the youngest subduction-related component in the Australian continent, records a prolonged history of west-dipping subduction from the Devonian to the Triassic. From mid-late Permian (ca 265 Ma) to Upper Triassic (ca 235 Ma), the New England Orogen was subjected to pronounced...
