The Cadomian Orogeny was a tectonic event or series of events in the late Neoproterozoic, about 650–550 Ma, which probably included the formation of mountains...

The Cape Supergroup rocks later underwent deformation during the Cape orogeny, in which the rocks were folded and thrust upwards. The Cape orogeny formed...

Cape York. However the original width was 2,000 to 3,000 km wide, with the excess size absorbed by folding and thrust faulting. The Kanimblan orogeny...

near the base. The rocks are highly folded and faulted by the Cape orogeny forming the Cape Fold Belt, and thus, interpreted as "decollement". The Whitehill...
