Abstract The Cimmerian Continent is the narrow continental strip that rifted from the
northeastern Gondwana-Land margin mostly during the Permian between the present-day …

We present a global synthesis of the geochemistry of intermediate to silicic intrusive and
volcanic rocks from 149 Phanerozoic to Archean ophiolites, and evaluate models for their …

Abstract The Tauride block in Turkey is a peri-Gondwana, Cadomian-type terrane that rifted
from the Afro-Arabian margin of Gondwana in the Permo-Triassic and re-accreted to Arabia …

Abstract Late Neoproterozoic–Early Paleozoic basement in Iran mainly comprises granites
and mafic rocks locally affected by high-grade metamorphism. In this contribution, we collate …

The Cadomian orogen of NW Iran includes a series of metamorphic rocks with zircon U-Pb
ages between ca 562 and 505 Ma (Ediacaran to middle Cambrian). The Ediacaran …

Early Paleozoic sandstones deposited along the northern margin of Gondwana are
commonly interpreted to represent a vast, well-mixed, and far-travelled blanket of sand …

A major arc-related magmatic episode is recorded in the Ediacaran-Early Cambrian
(Cadomian) crust of Iran and Anatolia due to the southward subduction of Prototethyan …

This study presents coupled zircon U-Pb and Hf isotopic analyses of 82 igneous rocks that
are mainly from the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA) and Sanandaj-Sirjan zone …

The Arabia–Eurasia collision zone in the central part of the Alpine–Himalayan orogenic
system has had a complex deformation history since the Palaeozoic. In Iran, the collision …

The Saveh magmatic complex is a composite intrusion of diorite to tonalite. It is part of the
Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc in central Iran. Zircon U single bond Pb dating indicates that …
