Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1985 We present a revised Cenozoic geochronology based upon a best-fit to selected high-temperature radiometric dates on a number of identified magnetic polarity chrons (within the Late Cretaceous, Paleogene, and Neogene) which minimizes apparent accelerations in sea-floor spreading.

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Evolution of the volcanic mechanism in the central part of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc
Journal of Economic Geology, 2021 Introduction Cenozoic volcanic activities in the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc (UDMA) have occurred in three main pulses of Eocene, upper Oligocene-Pliocene, and Pio-Quaternary (Dilek et al., 2010, Sayari, 2015).
