The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

The Tethyside orogen, a direct consequence of the separation of the Gondwanaland and the
accretion of Eurasia, is a huge composite orogenic system that was generated during …

Abstract The Sanandaj‐Sirjan zone of Iran is a northwest trending orogenic belt immediately
north of the Zagros suture, which represents the former position of the Neotethys Ocean. The …

Along the northern border of Africa, Pangea breakup has been diachronic. During the
Jurassic, the Alpine Tethys propagated northeastward from the Atlantic to the Alps. During …

The Zagros Mountains of Iran formed by continental collision from closure of the Neo-
Tethyan Ocean. The Zagros Orogen underlying the mountain range reflects a much longer …

Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains
are presented in this work integrating geological and geophysical local and global datasets …

One of the major debated aspects of the Zagros orogenic system in the Middle East is the
timing of onset of continental collision between Arabia and Eurasia. The Zagros hinterland in …

We present the first regional balanced and restored sections across the northwestern part of
the Zagros Fold-and-Thrust Belt in Kurdistan Region of Iraq and a 2D kinematic model that …

This stratigraphic article summarizes a number of observations on the mid-Cretaceous
stratigraphy of Arabia made during the 2nd Arabian Plate Geology Workshop held in Abu …

The timing of continental collision between Arabia and Eurasia is a highly controversial
issue, on which new constraints are here provided from the Amiran Basin (Zagros …
