Petrological and geodynamical constraints of Chaldoran basaltic rocks, NW of Iran: evidence from geochemical characteristics
Chaldoran area in NW of Iran has Mesozoic oceanic crust basement. The studied rocks of this region can be divided into three groups: ophiolitic gabbros and pillow lavas, ophiolitic volcanoclastics and Eocene lava flows. Ophiolitic mafic rocks show continental volcanic arc natures and Eocene lava flow shows OIB-like nature. During the Mesozoic,the Chaldoran region was situated in the active cont...
متن کاملKinematics of back‐arc inversion of the Western Black Sea Basin
[1] Back‐arc basin evolution is driven by processes active at the main subduction zone typically assuming the transition from an extensional back‐arc, during the retreat of a mature slab, to a contractional basin, during high‐strain collisional processes. Such a transition is observed in the Black Sea, where the accurate quantification of shortening effects is hampered by the kinematically uncl...
متن کاملStructural and Sedimentary records of the Oligocene revolution in the Western Alpine arc
The northwestwards-directed Eocene propagation of the Western Alpine orogen is linked with (1) compressional structures in the basement and the Mesozoic sedimentary cover of the European foreland, well preserved in the External Zone (or Dauphiné Zone) of the Western Alps, and (2) tectono-sedimentary features associated with the displacement of the early Tertiary foreland basin. Three major shor...
متن کاملRevised Eocene-Oligocene kinematics for the West Antarctic rift system
[1] Past plate motion between East and West Antarctica along the West Antarctic rift system had important regional and global implications. Although extensively studied, the kinematics of the rift during Eocene-Oligocene time still remains elusive. Based on a recent detailed aeromagnetic survey from the Adare and Northern Basins, located in the northwestern Ross Sea, we present the first well-c...
متن کاملCenozoic basin development and stratigraphy of the Faroes area
The present paper reviews the geological development of the Faroes part of the NE Atlantic Margin in the Cenozoic Era. The Faroes area is located west of the post-Caledonian rift basin system formed in the Devonian after the collapse of the Caledonian mountains. Tectonic movements and plate reorganizations during several phases have strongly influenced sedimentation and erosion along the Caledo...
