New stratigraphic data for the Lower Cretaceous Tirgan Formation, Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran [PDF]
In this contribution, we describe a section through the Lower Cretaceous shallow-water platform sediments (Tirgan Formation) from the Kopet-Dagh basin (northern Tethys), which is located near Tirgan village, NE Iran. We used benthic foraminifera and planktonic organisms for biostratigraphy associated to the carbon isotope chemostratigraphy to constrain

Cenozoic evolution of Neotethys and implications for the causes of plate motions [PDF]
Africa-North America-Eurasia plate circuit rotations, combined with Red Sea rotations and new estimates of crustal shortening in Iran define the Cenozoic history of the Neotethyan ocean between Arabia and Eurasia. The new constraints indicate that Arabia-
