Geodynamic evolution of ophiolites from Albania and Greece (Dinaric-Hellenic belt): one, two, or more oceanic basins?

All the geological constraints for an exhaustive reconstruction of the Triassic to Tertiary tectonic history of the southern Dinaric-Hellenic belt can be found in Albania and Greece. This article…

Geology and petrology of the ophiolitic sequences in the Mirdita region, northern Albania

Mesozoic to Tertiary tectonic history of the Mirdita ophiolites, northern Albania

Abstract  In this paper, a summary of the tectonic history of the Mirdita ophiolitic nappe, northern Albania, is proposed by geological and structural data. The Mirdita ophiolitic nappe includes a…

Anatomy of the Ligure-Piemontese subduction system: evidence from Late Cretaceous–middle Eocene convergent margin deposits in the Northern Apennines, Italy

In the Northern Apennines, in contrast to the Western Alps and Alpine Corsica, upper structural levels of the Late Cretaceous–middle Eocene subduction complex are still preserved and well exposed.…

The processes of underthrusting and underplating in the geologic record: structural diversity between the Franciscan Complex (California), the Kodiak Complex (Alaska) and the Internal Ligurian Units…

Existing studies on active subduction margins have documented the wide diversity in structural style between accretionary prisms, both in space and time. Together with physical boundary conditions of…

THE JURASSIC ASSOCIATION OF BACKARC BASIN OPHIOLITES AND CALC-ALKALINE VOLCANICS IN THE GUEVGUELI COMPLEX (NORTHERN GREECE): IMPLICATION FOR THE EVOLUTION OF THE VARDAR ZONE

The Middle-Late Jurassic Guevgueli Complex (Greek Macedonia) represents one of the main ophiolitic complexes of the Vardar Zone and has been subdivided into two distinct sub-units, that are the East…

Interaction between Mid‐Ocean Ridge and Subduction Magmatism in Albanian Ophiolites

Albanian ophiolites are represented by two different coeval belts, each displaying well‐exposed, complete ophiolitic sequences that originated in the same oceanic basin and each showing distinct…

Tectono-sedimentary evolution of the External Liguride units (Northern Apennines, Italy): insights in the pre-collisional history of a fossil ocean-continent transition zone

Abstract In the Northern Apennines, the External Liguride (EL) units are interpreted as derived from the domain that joined the Ligure–Piemontese oceanic basin to the Adriatic plate continental…

COMPARISON AMONG THE ALBANIAN AND GREEK OPHIOLITES: IN SEARCH OF CONSTRAINTS FOR THE EVOLUTION OF THE MESOZOIC TETHYS OCEAN

In this paper the stratigraphical, structural, geochemical and petrological features of the Mirdita (Albania) and Pindos, Vourinos, Koziakas, Othrys and Argolis (Greece) ophiolitic nappes are…

The architecture of an incipient oceanic basin: a tentative reconstruction of the Jurassic Liguria-Piemonte basin along the Northern Apennines–Alpine Corsica transect

In this paper, a scenario for the early evolution of the Jurassic oceanic Liguria-Piemonte basin is sketched. For this purpose, four selected examples of ophiolite sequences from the Northern…
