The evolution of the Gondwana along the flank of the West African Craton was complex and
is far from understood. Subduction-related activity along this margin spanned between c …

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 late Proterozoic-early Paleozoic tectono-magmatic evolution of Central Iran is
considered to be a result of subduction of the Proto-Tethys Ocean and the amalgamation of …

Three Mo-bearing granitic intrusions, namely: Gattar, Abu Harba and Abu Marwa occur at
the Gattar area in the North Eastern Desert of Egypt. These late tectonic granites intrude …

The continental crust of Iran is dominated by abundant calc-alkaline and alkaline plutonic
and volcanic rocks and by rifted basins filled with mostly terrigenous sedimentary rocks that …

The meta-sedimentary rocks from the North Shahrekord metamorphic Complex (NSMC)
comprise micaschists, paragneisses, quartz-feldspathic schists, and marbles. Detrital zircons …

Aspects of the evolution of the Pan-African–Cadomian arc have been recognized in several
European massifs. The Ossa–Morena Complex (SW Iberian Massif) is one of the best …

The metamorphosed Sadegh‐Abad granite from the north Shahrekord Metamorphic
Complex (NSMC) of Sanandaj‐Sirjan Zone in west Iran shows evidence of ductile …

Amphibolitic rocks of the Tutak Metamorphic Complex (TMC), in the southern part of the
Sanandaj Sirjan Zone (SaSZ), are associated with meta-dolerites, felsic intrusions, mica …

The basement felsic igneous rocks associated with the continental tectonic zones of Iran are
key elements that contain a well-preserved geological record of the protracted evolutionary …
