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) …

This paper presents a synthesis of the geological features of each tectonic unit of the North
Makran (SE Iran), integrating results of multidisciplinary analyses, including structural and …

Seamounts are prominent seafloor features that make inhomogeneous oceanic crust,
carried by some moving plates and eventually accreted or subducted at convergent margins …

Abstract The Durkan Complex is a tectonic element of the Makran Accretionary Prism (SE
Iran) that includes fragments of Late Cretaceous seamounts. In this paper, the results of map …

The Jurassic mafic to felsic magmatism affecting the older Ediacaran-to-Cambrian basement
of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone of Iran has been traditionally interpreted as the product of arc …

Abstract The Remeshk-Mokhtarabad and Fannuj-Maskutan ophiolites represent two major
ophiolitic units in the North Makran Domain (Makran Accretionary Prism). Volcanic rocks and …

In the Makran area, a wide accretionary wedge is originated by the north-dip** subduction
of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. The rear of the accretionary wedge is represented …

This work investigates the petrogenesis of the main magmatic rocks of the Jurassic Alvand
plutonic complex, located in the northern sector of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone of Iran. The …

A Cretaceous paleo-accretionary wedge, the Ashin Complex, now exposed along the
Zagros suture zone in southern Iran, exhibits mafic, metasedimentary and ultramafic …

Abstract The North Makran Domain in the Makran Accretionary Prism consists of an
imbricate stack of Mesozoic Neo-Tethyan ophiolitic and metaophiolitic units. The Deyader …
