Paleoenvironments of Berriasian–lower Hauterivian deposits in the Western Neotethys: Late development, demise and drowning of the Slivnitsa carbonate platform (Western Bulgaria)

Evolving Earth
Sedimentological and biostratigraphic results are used to interpret the Early Cretaceous history of the newly named Slivnitsa carbonate platform which existed on the northern Neotethyan margin.

Present‐Day Kinematics of Continental Greece and Balkans Revealed by Sentinel‐1 InSAR Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Balkan Peninsula hosts the highest seismic activity in Europe, marked by numerous Mw6+ earthquakes in diverse tectonic settings. Assessing tectonic surface deformation is crucial to understand the forces controlling kinematics and, ultimately, constraining geodynamic models. However, because measuring slow velocity rates (a few mm/yr) with

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered

Upper Cretaceous Radiolarian ages from an arc-back-arc within the Yuksekova Complex in the southern Neotethys melange, SE Turkey

, 2015
The Yuksekova complex in SE Turkey is a part of a continuous belt of ophiolites and subduction-accretion complexes that stretches from Troodos in the west to Oman in the east, representing the remnants of the Southern Branch of Neotethys.

A remarkable radiolarian assemblage from the Csővár area (Hungary) improves biostratigraphical correlation of the Rhaetian

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract In the Csővár area of north‐central Hungary a remarkably well‐preserved Rhaetian radiolarian fauna, in which conodonts were also found, has enabled the identification of 49 radiolarian species belonging to 35 genera. The fauna is dominated by the orders Spumellaria and Entactinaria over less diverse Nassellaria.

Middle Cretaceous Andean‐Type Arc Evolution in the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (Shalair Valley), Iraq: New Geochronological and Geochemical Constraints

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The middle Cretaceous granitoid plutons of the Shalair Valley, situated in northeastern Iraq, constitute a principal magmatic component of the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone within the northwestern segment of the Zagros Orogenic Belt. Among these plutons, the equigranular Aulan body (AG) and the porphyritic Laladar body (LG) were crystallized at 111.0 ±

Diachronous demise of the Neotethys Ocean as a driver for non-cylindrical orogenesis in Anatolia

Tectonophysics, 2019
Continent-continent collision drives crustal deformation, topographic rise and geodynamic change. Africa-Eurasia convergence accommodated in the Eastern Mediterranean involved subduction of the Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere in Anatolia. Subduction was followed by collision of continental crust of Greater Adria with Eurasia to form the Izmir-Ankara ...

Tarsal morphology of the pleuraspidotheriid mammal Hilalia from the middle Eocene of Turkey [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2017
Pleuraspidotheriids are a group of primitive ungulate mammals that, until recently, were thought to be restricted to the late Paleocene of Western Europe.

Depositional Setting of Eastern Sakarya Zone (NE Türkiye): Late Cretaceous–Paleogene Period Biostratigraphy, Sedimentology and Tectono‐Sedimentary Basin Evolution

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
K‐Pg transition and Maastrichtian stage of sedimentary basin evolution of the Eastern Sakarya Zone. ABSTRACT This study reconstructs the late Campanian–Thanetian tectonic and sedimentary evolution of the Eastern Sakarya Zone Basin (Türkiye) during the closure of the Neotethys Ocean, through the integration of tectonic, biostratigraphic and sedimentary ...

The eastern Black Sea-Caucasus region during the Cretaceous: New evidence to constrain its tectonic evolution [PDF]

, 2016
International audienceWe report new observations in the eastern Black Sea-Caucasus region that allow reconstructing the evolution of the Neotethys in the Cretaceous. At that time, the Neotethys oceanic plate was subducting northward below the continental
