This discussion page is telling me there is no article called "Alleghenian orogeny" but of course there is. This page is a start, but this orogeny is apparently a very complex and multifarious event. Apparently there were many sub-orogenies that are considered part of this one, beginning well before the collision of Laurentia with Africa? It would be nice to get a more detailed writeup giving all the forces, events, places and times involved.
It was Euramerica (Europe and North America) which collided with Gondwana. (See these Missisippian and Pennsylvanian maps).-- Jyril 19:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Google Books gives a slight edge to Alleghanian
Google Scholar prefers Alleghanian
The Britannica article is titled Alleghenian orogeny.
I think we should use Alleghanian, due to both specialized Google searches showing its popularity. — hike395 ( talk) 05:07, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
My last edit marked the reversion as vandalism: that was an error, I'm assuming good faith for the anon editor. I believe that Euramerica is the correct term for the continent in the Paleozoic, while Laurasia is a term for the Mesozoic (please correct me if I am wrong). Pangaea also seems to be the spelling preferred by WP. — hike395 ( talk) 12:12, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
If anyone has a better map, such as one showing the entire extent of the orogeny, that would be a great addition. I added a map available from wiki-commons because I felt at least one location map was needed. Elriana ( talk) 23:28, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
