Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Tectonics"
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: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2018.01.008
Abstract: Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic change associated with the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (T-OAE) was evaluated in five successions located in Switzerland. They represent different paleogeographic settings across the Alpine Tethys: the northern shelf (Gipf, Riniken and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2018.03.013
Abstract: Abstract Early Toarcian (Early Jurassic; ~183 Ma) climate and carbon cycle perturbations were accompanied by widespread accumulation of bituminous sediments, formed during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE). On the northwestern Tethyan shelf, organic carbon accumulation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2020.01.019
Abstract: Abstract The Tibet Plateau is a key region to understand the evolution of the Tethys Oceans. The finding of Permian–Triassic eclogites and Carboniferous–Triassic ophiolites indicated the existence of a Paleo–Tethys Ocean in the Lhasa terrane,… read more here.
