Neotethyan suprasubduction zone ophiolites represent anomalous oceanic crust developed
in older host basins during trench rollback cycles and later entrapped in orogenic belts as a …

This article uses evidence mainly from the Eastern Mediterranean and Oman to help
understand the origin and emplacement of ophiolites. Field studies in these regions …

In this paper, a new discrimination diagram using absolute measures of Th and Nb is
applied to post-Archean ophiolites to best discriminate a large number of different ophiolitic …

The Eastern Mediterranean region exhibits a fascinating diversity of ophiolites and related
oceanic magmatic units of mainly Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous age. Comparisons with …

The Middle Jurassic Mirdita Ophiolite in northern Albania is part of an ophiolite belt
occurring between the Apulian and Pelagonian subcontinents in the Balkan Peninsula. The …

The time span between the Variscan and Alpine cycles is not devoid of any major tectonic
activity, and corresponds to the Cimmerian cycle. Between the Early Permian and Late …

Ophiolite assemblages record structural, magmatic, and metamorphic processes that
preceded their entrapment in orogenic belts by continental plate collisions. Ophiolite genetic …

The origin of the Eastern Mediterranean basin (EMB) by rifting along its passive margins is
reevaluated. Evidence from these margins shows that this basin formed before the Middle …

All the geological constraints for an exhaustive reconstruction of the Triassic to Tertiary
tectonic history of the southern Dinaric-Hellenic belt can be found in Albania and Greece …

The post-collisional Cenozoic magmatic activity in the Biga Peninsula (NW Anatolia) started
in the Middle Eocene (45.3±0.9 Ma) and lasted continuously until the Late Miocene …
