• Antler orogeny (ancestral Sierra Nevada)
• Appalachian orogeny ( Appalachian MountainsThe Appalachian Mountains are a system of North American mountains running from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada to Alabama in the United States, although the northernmost mainland portion ends at the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec. The system is divided into, ) is a well studied orogenic belt resulting from a late paleozoic collision between North America and Africa. It stretches for many hundreds of miles on the surface from AlabamaAlabama is a state located in the southern United States; the population of Alabama is 4,447,100 as of 2000. The USS Alabama and CSS Alabama were named in honor of this state.

The Carpathian Mountains are the eastern wing of the great central mountain system of Europe curving 1500 km (~900 miles) along of east Europe during the Miocene
• The Cimmerian and Cathayasian orogenies were active through TriassicThe Triassic is a Geologic period that extends from about 248 to 202 million years (My or 'megayears') before the present. The extinction event that closed the Triassic period has recently been more accurately dated, but as with most older geologic period and JurassicThe Jurassic period is a major unit of the geologic timescale that extends from about 135 million years BP at the end of the Triassic to 195 million years BP at the beginning of the Cretaceous. As with other geologic periods, the rock beds that define the along south and southeast Asia.

• Nevadan orogeny was developing along western North America during the Jurassic.
• Ouachita orogeny ( Ouachita Mountains) of Arkansas and Oklahoma is an orogenic belt that dates from the late Paleozoic and is most likely a continuation of the Appalachian orogeny west across the Mississippi embayment rift zone .
