The collision tectonics of the southern Greek Neotethys
Continental collision in the Aegean area has produced a collage of micro-continental blocks, which were accreted to the active margin of Eurasia in Early Tertiary times. Studies undertaken in the Argolis Peninsula of southern Greece, located at the southern end of the Pelagonian continental terrane, confirm that this block was rifted from Gondwana in ...

Paleogene larger rotaliid foraminifera from the western and central Neotethys
Lukas Hottinger’s present monograph, entitled Paleogene larger rotaliid foraminifera from the western and central Neotethys, including plates and illustrations, has been a long-term project. The present book supplements the monograph on the Neogene to Recent Rotaliacea (Hottinger 1980 ed.) and follows a similar one on the much smaller group of the ...

Palaeogeographic and palaeotectonic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean Neotethys
Abstract Integrated basin-scale field and laboratory studies form the basis of detailed discussions of three important areas of the Eastern Mediterranean Neotethys, here termed the Pindos ocean (Greece), the Antalya ocean (SW Turkey) and the Cyprus ocean.

Guadalupian (Middle Permian) paleobiogeography of the Neotethys Ocean
Abstract A matrix of presence/absence data of Guadalupian (Middle Permian) brachiopod genera from Sicily, Tunisia, Oman, Turkey, north Iran, central Afghanistan, Karakoram, Salt Range, and south Thailand has been analyzed by multivariate methods (cluster analysis, principal coordinate analysis, minimum spanning trees) and Parsimony Analysis of ...

The Permian–Triassic transition is characterised by major environmental changes and the largest known mass extinction event in the Phanerozoic. However, successions with a relatively complete sedimentological and palaeontological record across the ...

AbstractThree independent single‐grain geochronometers applied to detrital minerals from Central Dinaride sediments constrain the timing of felsic magmatism that associated the Jurassic evolution of the Neotethys. The Lower Cretaceous clastic wedge of the Bosnian Flysch, sourced from the Dinaride ophiolitic thrust complex, yields magmatic monazite and ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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‐Eurasia convergence has been fairly constant at 2 to 3 cm/yr since 56 Ma with slowing of Africa ...

THE DEPOSITIONAL SETTINGS AND THE HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL OF THE NEOTETHYS PASSIVE CONTINENTAL MARGIN
The study area is associated with the outer passive wing of the foreland trough that was formed due to collisional-orogenic deformations of the Neotethys Arabian Plate. The sedimentological and paleoenvironmental features of the Cenomanian formation indicate that the carbonate sediments were deposited in a homoclinal ramp depositional settings.

Geochemistry and Geodynamic setting of Crustal sequence in Shahini ophiolitic complex, NW of Kamyaran [PDF]
The Shahini ophiolitic complex is located west of Kamyaran as a ring connection between the Kermanshah and Kurdistan ophiolites, outcropped along the Zagros and Neotethys suture zone, in western Iran.
