DOI: 10.1002/2017tc004790
Abstract: Jurassic subduction initiation in the Neo-Tethys Ocean eventually led to the collision of the Adria-Africa and Eurasia continents and the formation of an ~6,000 km long Alpine orogen spanning from Iberia to Iran. Reconstructing the location… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10347-019-0587-y
Abstract: Aptian carbonates, major hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Persian Gulf, were deposited on a ramp-like platform to intrashelf basinal setting under the controls of tectonics and eustasy. Coated grains (oncoids and pisoids) are abundant and show… read more here.

Early cretaceous transformation from Pacific to Neo-Tethys subduction in the SW Pacific Ocean: Constraints from Pb-Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes of the Philippine arc

DOI: 10.1016/j.gca.2020.06.024
Abstract: Abstract The westward subduction of the Pacific plate interacted with the northward subduction of the eastern Neo-Tethys plate in the Early Cretaceous. However, the subduction polarities between these two plates in the Early Cretaceous is… read more here.

Provenance of Tanjero and Red Bed clastic sedimentary rocks revealed by detrital zircon SHRIMP dating, Kurdistan region, NE Iraq: Constraints on ocean closure and unroofing of Neo-Tethyan allochthons

DOI: 10.1016/j.jafrearsci.2020.103981
Abstract: Abstract Closure of Neo-Tethys between the Late Cretaceous and Miocene caused obduction of intra-Neo-Tethys volcanic arc allochthons onto the northern margin of the Arabian-Nubian Shield. This loading led to downwarping of the shield forming a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2019.105166
Abstract: Abstract Eclogite from two locations in a fossil accretionary complex now exposed in Nagaland, NE India, at the northern end of the Indo-Myanmar ranges, provides the oldest evidence for Neo-Tethyan subduction along the Yarlung-Tsangpo suture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2018.11.030
Abstract: Abstract In this study, we reconstruct water-column oxygen availability during the deposition of Late Permian shales (Wuchiapingian to approximately early Changhsingian) using the geochemistry and morphology of sedimentary pyrite (FeS2). Deposition of the shales occurred… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2018.07.024
Abstract: Abstract The accretionary complex of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) in southern Tibet records the subduction-accretion process of Neo-Tethys oceanic lithosphere. We report field observations, petrographic analysis, detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology, and Hf isotope… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2019.1667882
Abstract: ABSTRACT Albian–Cenomanian successions (Kazhdumi and Sarvak formations) represent remarkable variations in thickness, facies, fauna, and environments throughout the Zagros area. In the Coastal Fars (Charmu section), sedimentological and paleontological data evidence an intrashelf, with depths… read more here.
