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 …

Abstract The Neo-Tethys Ocean was an eastward-gaping triangular oceanic embayment
between Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. The Neo-Tethys Ocean was …

Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

As the chronicle of plate motions through time, paleogeography is fundamental to our
understanding of plate tectonics and its role in shaping the geology of the present-day. To …

The making of Pangea is the result of large-scale amalgamation of continents and micro-
continents, which started at the end of the Neoproterozoic with the formation of Gondwana …

This paper reviews the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen
from the Carpathians to Indochina. Focus is placed on the formation of porphyry Cu±Mo±Au …

The Asian continent consists of many continental blocks that assembled during the
Phanerozoic, accompanied by widespread granitoids. By compiling a series of digital maps …

The Anarak, Jandaq and Posht-e-Badam metamorphic complexes occupy the NW part of the

The Gümüşhane pluton, a high-K calc-alkaline I-type granodiorite/granite complex, forms an
important component of the pre-Liassic basement of the Eastern Pontides (NE Turkey). In its …

Along the northern border of Africa, Pangea breakup has been diachronic. During the
Jurassic, the Alpine Tethys propagated northeastward from the Atlantic to the Alps. During …
