biostratigraphy late early cambrian - late cambrian successions in kamar siah section (southeast kerman) on the basis of trilobites
cambrian sediments are widely exposed in the kerman province. parts of these deposits are containing trilobite fossils. one of the suitable areas for paleontological studies is kamar siah section. this section located about 60 km north east of kerman. these sediments have 200 m thickness with fossil invertebrates of trilobites, brachiopod, gastropods and stromatolite which includes kuhbanan and...
متن کاملSlab breakoff A model for syncollisional magmatism and tectonics in the Alps
Slab breakoff is the buoyancy-driven detachment of subducted oceanic lithosphere from the light continental lithosphere that follows it during continental collision. In a recent paper Davies and von Blanckenburg [1994] have assessed the physical conditions leading to breakoff by quantitative thermomechanical modeling and have predicted various consequences in the evolution of mountain belts. Br...
متن کاملLate Quaternary faulting in the Sevier Desert driven by magmatism
Seismic hazard in continental rifts varies as a function of strain accommodation by tectonic or magmatic processes. The nature of faulting in the Sevier Desert, located in eastern Basin and Range of central Utah, and how this faulting relates to the Sevier Desert Detachment low-angle normal fault, have been debated for nearly four decades. Here, we show that the geodetic signal of extension acr...
متن کاملChronology of pluton emplacement and regional deformation in the southern Sierra Nevada batholith, California
Cretaceous plutonic rocks of the southern Sierra Nevada batholith between latitudes 35.5°N and 36°N lie in a strategic position that physically links shallow, subvolcanic levels of the batholith to lower-crustal (~35 km deep) batholithic rocks. This region preserves an oblique crustal section through the southern Sierra Nevada batholith. Prior studies have produced large U/Pb zircon data sets f...
متن کاملThe age and origin of a thick ma®c±ultrama®c keel from beneath the Sierra Nevada batholith
We present evidence for a thick ( 100 km) sequence of cogenetic rocks which make up the root of the Sierra Nevada batholith of California. The Sierran magmatism produced tonalitic and granodioritic magmas which reside in the Sierra Nevada upperto midcrust, as well as deep eclogite facies crust/upper mantle ma®c±ultrama®c cumulates. Samples of the ma®c±ultrama®c sequence are preserved as xenolit...
