Mélanges and mélange-forming processes: a historical overview and new concepts
Mélanges represent a significant component of collisional and accretionary orogenic belts
and occur widely around the world. Since its first introduction and use, the term has evolved …

Origin and significance of olistostromes in the evolution of orogenic belts: A global synthesis
Olistostromes (sedimentary mélanges) represent the products of ancient submarine mass
transport processes. We present a comparative analysis of the occurrences and internal …

Mechanisms and processes of stratal disruption and mixing in the development of mélanges and broken formations: Redefining and classifying mélanges
The terms mélange and broken formation have been used in different ways in the literature.
The lack of agreement on their definition often leads to confusion and misinterpretations. An …

Late Eocene uplift of the Al Hajar Mountains, Oman, supported by stratigraphy and low‐temperature thermochronology
Abstract Uplift of the Al Hajar Mountains in Oman has been related to either Late Cretaceous
ophiolite obduction or the Neogene Zagros collision. To test these hypotheses, the cooling …

3-D lithospheric structure and regional/residual Bouguer anomalies in the Arabia—Eurasia collision (Iran)
The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle
geometry of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer …

[HTML][HTML] Mélanges and chaotic rock units: Implications for exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts
Most of mélanges occurring in exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts are
commonly interpreted as the product of tectonic processes (eg, underplating and return flow) …
