Cretaceous tectonic evolution of the Neo-Tethys in Central Iran: Evidence from petrology and age of the Nain-Ashin ophiolitic basalts
The Nain and Ashin ophiolites consist of Mesozoic mélange units that were emplaced in the Late Cretaceous onto the continental basement of the Central-East Iran microcontinent (CEIM). They largely consist of serpentinized peridotites slices; nonetheless, minor tectonic slices of sheeted dykes and pi...
