In the Makran area, a wide accretionary wedge is originated by north-dipping subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. The rear represented North Domain that consists an imbricate stack tectonic units derived from closure basin. This basin opened southward Eurasia continental margin during Early Cretaceous. Bajgan Complex interpreted as Paleozoic or older metamorphic basement representing ...

the kahnuj ophiolitic complex, a part of the jazmurian ophiolitic belt, is located on the western boundary of the jazmurian depression and is bounded by two major fault systems. there is a well-preserved, ophiolite pseudostratigraphy of early cretaceous to early palaeocene age and has a bearing on the mesozoic development of southeastern part of iran and adjacent region. the kahnuj ophiolitic c...

Multiscale structural analysis is carried out to explore the sequence of superposed pre-Alpine chloritoid–staurolite–andalusite metamorphic assemblages in polydeformed Variscan basement upper Val Camonica, central Southalpine domain. The dominant fabric Camonica late-Variscan S2 foliation, marked by greenschist facies minerals and truncated base Permian siliciclastic sequences. intersection wit...

Abstract Rutile from a wide range of orogenic gold deposits and districts, including representative world-class deposits, was investigated for its texture trace element composition using scanning electron microscopy, probe microanalysis, laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Deposits are hosted in various country rocks felsic to ultramafic igneous sedimentary rocks, which...

Greenschist facies metabasite (chlorite schist) and metasediments (banded iron formation (BIF)) in the Wutai Complex, North China Craton recorded extensive fluid activities during subduction-related metamorphism. The pervasive dolomitization chlorite schist significant dolomite enrichment at BIF–chlorite interface support existence of highly channelized updip transportation CO2-rich hydrotherma...

Abstract The major-element chemical composition of garnet provides valuable petrogenetic information, particularly in metamorphic rocks. When facing detrital garnet, information about the bulk-rock and mineral paragenesis initial garnet-bearing host-rock is absent. This prevents application thermo-barometric techniques calls for quantitative empirical approaches. Here we present a discriminatio...

The Kahnuj ophiolitic complex, a part of the Jazmurian ophiolitic belt, is located on the western boundary of the Jazmurian depression and is bounded by two major fault systems. There is a well-preserved, ophiolite pseudostratigraphy of early Cretaceous to early Palaeocene age and has a bearing on the Mesozoic development of southeastern part of Iran and adjacent region. The Kahnuj ophiolitic c...

in order to investigate deformation history preserved in the calcite twins in the hinterland of zagros, several samples have been collected from calcschists of the paleozoic sargaz complex in the faryab area, se iran. these samples are related to f1-recumbent folding and thrust shear zones. the twin width is about 1 and 3.8 µm (thin-twin regime); the twin strain amounts 5 and 10%; twin intensit...
