Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic [PDF]

, 2020
The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent destruction by subduction accommodating convergence between the African and ...

A Paleotectonic Atlas of the African Plate: Permian to Recent

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 231-279, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The fragmentary release of petroleum data defining the deep structure and stratigraphy of African basins has been integrated with existing literature to compile 19 tectonic maps over key geological intervals from Permian to Recent times. African plate margins range in their age of opening from Late Triassic (off Lebanon), through Early/Middle ...

Exhumation Paths of High-Pressure–Low-Temperature Metamorphic Rocks from the Lycian Nappes and the Menderes Massif (SW Turkey): a Multi-Equilibrium Approach [PDF]

Journal of Petrology, 2004
The Menderes Massif and the overlying Lycian Nappes occupy an extensive area of SW Turkey where high-pressure–low-temperature metamorphic rocks occur. Precise retrograde P–T paths reflecting the tectonic mechanisms responsible for the exhumation of these highpressure–low-temperature rocks can be constrained with multiequilibrium P ...

Exhumation of high-pressure rocks driven by slab rollback

, 2008
International audienceRocks metamorphosed under high-pressure (HP) and ultra high-pressure (UHP) conditions in subduction zones come back to the surface relatively soon after their burial and at rates comparable to plate boundary velocities.

Lithospheric Unzipping Explaining Hot Orogenesis During Continental Subduction

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Phanerozoic accretionary orogens typically contain upper crustal nappes derived from subducted lithosphere—oceanic or continental—that display (ultra‐)high‐pressure, low‐temperature ((U)HP‐LT) metamorphism. Surprisingly, such orogens often also contain coeval continent‐derived nappes that underwent “Barrovian” (MP‐HT) syn‐burial metamorphism ...

Using high-resolution stratigraphy and structural analysis to constrain a “polyphase” tectonics in wedge-top basins. Inferences from the Late Tortonian Scillato Basin (central-northern Sicily). [PDF]

, 2012
The present paper aims to show, both from a stratigraphic and structural points of view, the main features of a wedge-top syntectonic basin which evolved recording polyphase and non-coaxial tectonics.

Cold Tectonics of Kos, Central Dodecanese: Oligocene Bivergent Extension of the Pelagonian Domain

Tectonics, Volume 43, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Tectonic and lithological correlations between the Cycladic Blueschist Unit of the Aegean domain and Pelagonian domain of the western Turkey have rarely been proposed. Herein, we focus on the pre‐volcanic geology of Kos, and investigate the tectonic history of the central Dodecanese Islands and the general correlation between the two domains ...

P–T–t evolution of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit in Western Anatolia/Turkey: Geodynamic implications for the Aegean region

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 2020
Eclogite and blueschist facies rocks occurring as a tectonic unit between the underlying Menderes Massif (MM) and the overlying Afyon Zone/Lycian Nappes and the Bornova Flysch Zone in western Anatolia represent the eastward continuation of the Cycladic ...

Microseismic activity and fluid fault interactions: some results from the Corinth Rift Laboratory (CRL), Greece [PDF]

, 2009
International audienceThe Gulf of Corinth, in western-central Greece, is one of the fastest continental rifts in theworld. In its western section near the city of Aigion, the previous work has outlined theexistence of a shallow dipping ...

Disruption of a high‐pressure unit during exhumation: Example of the Cycladic Blueschist unit (Thera, Ios and Naxos islands, Greece)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 225-255, February 2024.
Abstract Reconstructing the original geometry of a high‐pressure tectonic unit is challenging but important to understand the mechanisms of mountain building. While a single nappe is subducted and exhumed, nappe‐internal thrusts may disrupt it into several subunits.
