Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …
Abstract The Cimmerian Continent is the narrow continental strip that rifted from the northeastern Gondwana-Land margin mostly during the Permian between the present-day …
The evolution of the Neo-Tethys realm had a significant impact on the Phanerozoic paleogeography of the Iran Plateau. However, there remains significant debate regarding …
The timings of the onset of oceanic spreading, subduction and collision are crucial in plate reconstructions, but not always straightforward to resolve. The Paleo‐Tethys evolution …

The issue about the Sabzevar Oceanic Basin (SOB) lifetime and its paleogeographic position, as a branch of the NeoTethyan oceanic system in Northeast Iran, has long been …
NW Iran, situated between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, carries a record of both Paleo- Tethyan and Neo-Tethyan tectonic evolution. During the Wilson Cycle of Tethys Ocean …
The Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the northern margin of Gondwana is inferred to comprise several episodes of continental breakup and ocean opening. However, the timing and …
Abstract The Anatolide-Tauride block in the Tethyan belt represented passive northern continental margin of Gondwana throughout Paleozoic time. In this paper, we report on a …
