    Geologic Occurrence and Distribution
    PBS is most famously documented along the suture zones of ancient orogenies, including the Caledonian Orogeny and the Appalachian-Caledonian System. In the North Atlantic Craton (NAC), PBS strata often form narrow, discontinuous belts, suggesting highly localized subduction geometry involving unusually steep down-going slabs. The global distribution correlates strongly with [continental fragments](/…
