The palaeogeographic outlines of the Caucasus in the Jurassic: The Caucasian Sea and the Neotethys Ocean [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2006 The Caucasian Sea, fringing the northern margin of the Jurassic Neotethys Ocean, largely covered the Caucasus. Continental, shallow-marine and deep-marine palaeoenvironments delineate palaeogeographic outlines for three significant time slices: the Late ...

A Plant‐Diversity Dark Spot at the Intersection of Three Biodiversity Hotspots: Environmental Drivers of Brassicaceae Richness in Türkiye [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionWe provide the first nationwide, spatially explicit analytical framework for assessing how environmental and spatial processes structure species and endemic richness in Brassicaceae across Türkiye, a global plant‐diversity “dark spot.” We compiled an ...

Reconsidering paleozoic differences between the Jadar block and the Drina-Ivanjica unit [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2020 The peculiar Jadar block has an intervening position separating the main Neotethyan West Vardar Zone (including ophiolites of Late Jurassic age) and a passive margin lithospheric segment of the Apulia/Adria microplate referred to as the Drina-Ivanjica ...

The Van Microplate: A New Microcontinent at the Junction of Iran, Turkey, and Armenia
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 In northwestern Iran, magmatic activity occurred during three main intervals: The Cretaceous, Eocene, and Miocene-Quaternary. The first two phases of magmatic activity are more consistent with arc-type magmatism on an active continental margin; whereas ...

A reconstruction of Iberia accounting for Western Tethys–North Atlantic kinematics since the late-Permian–Triassic [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 The western European kinematic evolution results from the opening of the western Neotethys and the Atlantic oceans since the late Paleozoic and the Mesozoic.

Jurassic–Paleogene intraoceanic magmatic evolution of the Ankara Mélange, north-central Anatolia, Turkey [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2014 Oceanic rocks in the Ankara Mélange along the Izmir–Ankara–Erzincan suture zone (IAESZ) in north-central Anatolia include locally coherent ophiolite complexes (~ 179 Ma and ~ 80 Ma), seamount or oceanic plateau volcanic units with pelagic and reefal ...

The Geodynamic Implications of Passive Margin Subduction in Northwest Turkey
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The number of subduction zones that facilitated the northward translation of the Anatolide‐Tauride continental terrane derived from Gondwana to the southern margin of Eurasia at the longitude of western Turkey is debated.

Exploring a link between the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum and Neotethys continental arc flare-up [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2021 The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO), a ∼500 kyr episode of global warming that initiated at ∼ 40.5 Ma, is postulated to be driven by a net increase in volcanic carbon input, but a direct source has not been identified.
