The exhumation of the western Greater Caucasus: a thermochronometric study [PDF]
Geological Magazine, 2010 AbstractThis study provides 39 new thermochronometric analyses from the western part of the Greater Caucasus, a region in which existing data are extremely limited and of questionable quality. The new results are consistent with field studies that identify Triassic to Middle Jurassic (Cimmerian) and Oligo-Miocene (Alpine) orogenic erosional events.
