The ongoing interest in the complex geology of Dinaric orogen, particular, its immediate, post-orogenic evolution (post-Lutetian), has produced a number tectonic solutions, proposing either extensional stage followed by subsidence, with immense lithospheric thinning resulting regional uplift, or even pure uplift episode(s). unclear Late Oligocene?Miocene forces are often interpreted as intercha...

The Sungun  copper  porphyry deposit is hosted by a Tertiary magmatic complex in  the  Azarbayjan province , northwestern Iran. The  Sungan mine  in its southern and eastern parts is limited  by early Miocene volcanic and by Late Cretaceous limestone rocks in northern and eastern parts respectively . The Sungun  deposit is associated with a suite of porphyritic granitoids and late dikes intrudi...

The Western Australian margin is a unique coral reef province, with modern development occurring at latitudes as far south 29°S. genesis of this province may go back to the Oligo-Miocene, since geological features ~30 million-year-old and younger interpreted reefs are known from offshore seismic surveys. nature these is, however, uncertain, they only sparsely sampled, time-equivalent outcrops p...
