The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

We present a detailed sediment-provenance study on the modern Euphrates-Tigris-Karun
fluvial system and Mesopotamian foreland basin, one of the cradles of humanity. Our rich …

This paper presents several types of new information including U–Pb radiometric dating of
ophiolitic rocks and an intrusive granite, micropalaeontological dating of siliceous and …

Indentation of the Arabian platform into the eastern domain of the Anatolide-Tauride Block
(ATB) led to sub-horizontal rupture and break-off of the Arabian segment of the subducting …

Abstract The Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt (SAOB) resulted from the north-dip**
subduction of the southern Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere in late Mesozoic and early …

This paper presents an inventory of the relevant information to delineate the Tethyside
sutures and the continental blocks they stitch in Turkey and to summarise their history. A …

Abstract The East Anatolian plateau (Turkey) is extensively covered by Neogene to
Quaternary volcanic-sedimentary rocks, and is characterized by an attenuated lithospheric …

The northward subduction of the Paleo-Tethys beneath the southern margin of Laurasia
during the Triassic caused the development of an extensional tectonic regime on the …

Abstract The Middle Cretaceous–Late Miocene sedimentary successions that are exposed
on the Arabian continental margin (near Adıyaman) provide valuable insights into …

Rift basins in mountain belts shed light on the palaeogeography and tectonic development
of adjacent sutured ocean basins, as for the Antalya Complex in the S Neotethys region …
