Biostratigraphy and Sequence Stratigraphy of Paleogene Deposits in Central Kopet-Dagh Basin (NE of Iran) [PDF]
In this paper, the biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy of marine Paleogene deposits from the Kopet-Dagh basin (NE of Iran) are described. Particularly the absence of Morozovella genus is discussed.

Phylogenomic inference and demographic model selection suggest peripatric separation of the cryptic steppe ant species Plagiolepis pyrenaica stat. rev. [PDF]
Abstract The ant Plagiolepis taurica Santschi, 1920 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) is a typical species of the Eurasian steppes, a large grassland dominated biome that stretches continuously from Central Asia to Eastern Europe and is represented by disjunct outposts also in Central and Western Europe.

A story from the Miocene: Clock-dated phylogeny of Sisymbrium L. (Sisymbrieae, Brassicaceae). [PDF]
Morphological variability and imprecise generic boundaries have hindered systematic, taxonomical, and nomenclatural studies of Sisymbrium L. (Brassicaceae, Sisymbrieae DC.). The present study placed the biological history of Sisymbrium L. into time and space and rendered the tribus Sisymbrieae as monotypic.

Paleogeography and regional interpretation of facies in Tirgan Formation, west of Kopet-Dagh sedimentary basin, northeast of Iran [PDF]
In order to study the lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, microfacies, depositional setting and also to reconstruct the paleo-environmental conditions of the Tirgan Formation, three outcrop sections were selected in the western part of the Kopet-Daghh ...

Evidence of early Aptian Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE1a) in the Central Kopet-Dagh (Qaleh-Zoo section), with special reference to the calcareous nannofossil assemblages [PDF]
In the current study, a succession from the middle part of the Sarcheshmeh Formation was investigated to record the early Aptian oceanic anoxic event 1a (OAE1a) at the Qaleh-Zoo section in the central part of the Kopet-dagh Basin.

The Atlas of Morocco: A Plume‐Assisted Orogeny
Abstract We explore the connections between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in the Atlas of Morocco. In response to compressional forces and strain localization, this intraplate orogen has evolved far from convergent plate margins.

Recognition of Oil Traps in the Kopet-Dagh Basin (Northeastern Iran) Using Fusion of Seismic Attributes, Petrophysical Logs and Geological Data [PDF]
Integrated analysis of oil traps, especially those related to facies changes, is far more complicated than reservoirs related to structural traps. The most useful way to identify these complex subsurface structures directly related to facies change is to

Geochemical and Isotopic Evolution of Late Oligocene Magmatism in Quchan, NE Iran
Abstract Magmatic activity that accompanied the collision between Arabia and Eurasia at ∼27 Ma, provides unique opportunities for understanding the triggers and magma reservoirs for collisional magmatism and its different styles in magmatic fronts and back‐arcs.
