A volcano-sedimentary succession, including the Guruf volcanic series, is exposed at Gabal Um in north Eastern Desert of Egypt. series intermediate to silicic flows and associated pyroclastic deposits unconformably overlie quartz-diorite granodiorite plutons are intruded by high-level alkali feldspar granites. The metavolcanic xenoliths shown be unrelated volcanics. Two cycles can recognized. l...

Abstract We present two robust and well‐dated paleomagnetic poles from upper Eocene Oligocene volcanics in the Urumieh‐Dokhtar magmatic arc, Central Iran. These place Iran ∼3.7°–3° of latitude south its position between ca. 40 23 Ma. Our new declination data indicate that block may have experienced a ∼11.6° clockwise rotation since Late Eocene. integrated our with retrodeformed margins Zagros c...
