Jurassic igneous rocks of the central Sanandaj–Sirjan zone (Iran) mark a propagating continental rift, not a magmatic arc

H Azizi, RJ Stern - Terra Nova, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Jurassic igneous bodies of the Sanandaj–Sirjan zone (SaSZ) in SW Iran are generally
considered as a magmatic arc but critical evaluation of modern geochronology …
