Was there a wind-driven Tethys circumglobal current in the Late Cretaceous?

In the Beginning, Middle, and End There Was a Garden: Bahram Sadeqi’s Malakut

It seems impossible to think of the Persian art without mentioning the significant presence of gardens. They are present in miniature painting, architecture, and literature. One of the modern works of Persian fiction in which gardens play a significant role is Malakut (1961), a novella by the modern Iranian fiction writer Bahram Sadeqi (1936-1984). The story of this novella begins in a “green g...

Introduction and Paleontology of the Middle Tethys Ocean rudists in the Lower Cretaceous in Central Iran

 This research for introduce and paleontology of Early Cretaceous Rudist in the Middle Tethys Ocean, stratigraphic section of the kalleh pahnoo has been selected from the Shahkouh Formation in Central Iran (Khor and Biabank region). The studied section consists of 120 m thin layer to massive limestone. Studies on 106 specimens collected and prepared from this section have led to the identific...

Model simulation of the cretaceous ocean circulation.

Three-dimensional numerical ocean circulation model experiments that were designed to evaluate the circulation characteristics for the mid-Cretaceous ( approximately 100 million years ago) show that the primary direction of flow through the Tethys Ocean was eastward; in contrast, a westward flowing circumglobal Tethys current has been a consistent feature of earlier reconstructions of Cretaceou...
