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 …

We present a map that correlates tectonic units between Alps and western Turkey
accompanied by a text providing access to literature data, explaining the concepts used for …

Lithology describes the geochemical, mineralogical, and physical properties of rocks. It
plays a key role in many processes at the Earth surface, especially the fluxes of matter to …

A correlation of tectonic units of the Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic system of orogens,
including the substrate of the Pannonian and Transylvanian basins, is presented in the form …

We establish the 'subduction initiation rule'(SIR) which predicts that most ophiolites form
during subduction initiation (SI) and that the diagnostic magmatic chemostratigraphic …

The Eastern Mediterranean region exhibits a fascinating diversity of ophiolites and related
oceanic magmatic units of mainly Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous age. Comparisons with …

Suprasubduction zone (SSZ) ophiolites in orogenic belts represent oceanic crust generation
in subduction rollback cycles during the closing stages of basins prior to terminal continental …

The Middle Jurassic Mirdita Ophiolite in northern Albania is part of an ophiolite belt
occurring between the Apulian and Pelagonian subcontinents in the Balkan Peninsula. The …

Neotethyan suprasubduction zone ophiolites represent anomalous oceanic crust developed
in older host basins during trench rollback cycles and later entrapped in orogenic belts as a …

We quantitatively investigate the relation between nappe stacking and subduction in the
Aegean region. If nappe stacking is the result of the decoupling of upper-crustal parts (5–10 …
