Late Campanian (74–71 Ma) Arabia–Eastern Anatolia Collision and Its Geodynamic Implications

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The East Anatolian Plateau is a major collisional feature within the Tethyan realm formed as a late‐stage result of the collision between East Anatolia and the Arabian Platform. The timing of this collision is highly debated, with estimates from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene.

Geochemistry, Paragenesis, and Wall‐Rock Alteration of the Qatruyeh Iron Deposits, Southwest of Iran: Implications for a Hydrothermal‐Metasomatic Genetic Model

open access: yesJournal of Geological Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The Qatruyeh iron deposits, located on the eastern border of the NW‐SE trending Sanandaj‐Sirjan metamorphic zone, southwest of Iran, are hosted by a late Proterozoic to early Paleozoic sequence dominated by metamorphosed carbonate rocks. The magnetite ores occurred as layered to massive bodies, with lesser amounts of disseminated magnetite and hematite‐

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

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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 ±

Petrogenesis of Quaternary Shoshonitic Volcanism in NE Iran (Ardabil): Implication for Postcollisional Magmatism

open access: yesJournal of Geological Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Trachyandesites, trachytes, andesites, and pyrocalstic rocks, with shoshonitic signature, are the main Quaternary volcanic rocks in the Sabalan region (Ardabil). Plagiocalse, K‐feldspar, biotite associated with clinopyroxene, and glass are the main constituents of these lavas.

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

open access: yesBasin 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 ...

Geothermobarometry of Sarmeshk granitoids in the Northwest of Sarduiyeh [PDF]

open access: yesپترولوژی, 2018
The Sarmeshk granitoid pluton is located in southeast of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic zone in the Kerman province. Based on petrographic studies, the granitoid consist of three rock type of diorite, granodiorite and monzogranite. They are mainly composed

Restoring the Missing Late Cretaceous Arc of Iran

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Persistent arc magmatism archives fluid transport and mantle partial melting in subduction zones. However, arc magmatism often exhibits different magmatic records along the strike, as seen in the Tethyan orogenic belt. During Neo‐Tethys subduction under Iran, there was pulsed arc magmatism with Middle Jurassic and Eocene magmatic flare‐ups ...
