The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Rift basins in mountain belts shed light on the palaeogeography and tectonic development
of adjacent sutured ocean basins, as for the Antalya Complex in the S Neotethys region …

Valid palaeotectonic and palaeogeographical reconstructions of the easternmost
Mediterranean and adjacent region involve a long-lived Tethys (Rheic, Palaeotethyan and …

Formation of new subduction zones represents one of the cornerstones of plate tectonics,
yet both the kinematics and geodynamics governing this process remain enigmatic. A major …

Reconstructions of the Anatolian continent and adjacent areas assume the existence of one
or more continental fragments during Mesozoic–Early Cenozoic time. These rifted from …

Three published alternative tectonic models of the Permian-Pleistocene development of the
Kyrenia Range, N Cyprus are tested, supported by new field, geochemical and …

Sandstone geochemistry provides useful insights into source-rock weathering, erosion,
sedimentary transport, deposition, diagenesis and provenance. We identify and discuss …

The extended northern continental margin of Africa is currently colliding with and under-
thrusting northward below Cyprus. The age of onset of this collision is poorly constrained …

Triassic to Pleistocene sandstones of the Kyrenia Range, N Cyprus provide an exceptional
repository of the erosional history of Anatolia. The Kyrenia Range features several different …

Abstract The Alanya Massif, which is located to the south of central Taurides in Turkey,
presents a typical nappe pile consisting of thrust sheets with contrasting metamorphic …
