Fast Episodes of West-Mediterranean-Tyrrhenian Oceanic Opening and Revisited Relations with Tectonic Setting
Extension and calc-alkaline volcanism of the submerged orogen of alpine age (OAA) initiated in Early Oligocene (~33/32 Ma) and reached the stage of oceanic opening in Early-Miocene (Burdigalian), Late-Miocene and Late-Pliocene. In the Burdigalian (~20-16 Ma) period of widespread volcanism of calcalkaline type on the margins of oceanic domain, seafloor spreading originated the deep basins of nor...
متن کاملTectonic Setting of Metabasites of the Neo-Tethyan Oceanic Remains in Sanandaj-Sirjan Structural Zone West of Isfahan, Central Iran
The study area is located in the western portion of Isfahan, in Shahrekord-Dehsard Terrene. This area is part of the Sanandaj- Sirjan structural Zone. In this area, metamorphosed igneous outcrops contain greenschist and metabasite rocks. These rocks have metamorphed into greenschist facies and belong to the Triassic-Jurassic age. The etabasite is mainly composed of plagioclase, amphibole, epido...
متن کاملWhole rock and tectonic setting of gneisses from the eastern Salmas (west of Urmia lake), NW Iran
The garnet calc-silicates at Baba-Nazar are located in the NE of Takab, Sanandaj- Sirjan zone. Anhedral to euhedral green colored garnets is a characteristic feature of these Calc-silicates. Mineral chemistry shows that garnets are Andradite- Grossular and contain more than 13% uvarovite. The high chromium content garnet, Cr-Spinel that have relatively Cr rich core than the rim, sulfide opaque ...
متن کاملTectonic discrimination diagrams revisited
[1] The decision boundaries of most tectonic discrimination diagrams are drawn by eye. Discriminant analysis is a statistically more rigorous way to determine the tectonic affinity of oceanic basalts based on their bulk-rock chemistry. This method was applied to a database of 756 oceanic basalts of known tectonic affinity (ocean island, mid-ocean ridge, or island arc). For each of these trainin...
متن کامل50. Tectonic Setting and Processes of Mud Volcanism on the Mediterranean
Mud volcanism was initiated when overpressured muds rose through the Mediterranean Ridge accretionary prism. Early mud volcanism was marked by eruption of coarse clastic sediments forming small cones of debris flow deposits and turbidites, followed by eruption of large volumes of clast-rich matrix-supported debris flows. Eruption was accompanied by progressive subsidence to form moat-like featu...
