Diabases, pillow lavas and basaltic flows in the Nain-Dehshir ophiolites are marked with flat to slightly depleted pattern in REE chondrite-normalized diagram and are characterized by depletion in HFSE and enrichment in LILE. This geochemical behavior can be considered for lavas erupted in arc-related environments. Clinopyroxene in these rocks shows low content of TiO2 and resemble those found ...

T study of the deep structure and evolution of passive continental margins is important for the understanding of rifting processes and the formation of associated sedimentary basins. Since the classical models of McKenzie (1978) and Wernicke (1985), understanding how passive continental margins form, that is to say mainly the way that continental lithosphere is thinned leading to subsidence, re...

Tectonophysics, 192: 367-382. Data from detailed investigations of the geomagnetic coast effect across the southeast Australian continental margin are inte~ret~ in terms of a tw~im~sional numerical model. There is both land an...
