Cenozoic exhumation in the Mediterranean and the Middle East
Riccardo Lanari,Alexandre Boutoux,Claudio Faccenna,Frédéric Herman,Sean D. Willett,Paolo Ballato +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the processes driving spatial-temporal patterns of Cenozoic exhumation in the Mediterranean and the Middle East were investigated by compiling >7300 published low-temperature thermochronometric ages and converting them into ex-humation rates through a formal inversion process based on thermal modeling and closure temperature kinetics.

Provenance Analyses of the Volcanic Rock Grinding Stones from the Greek Colony of Selinunte, Sicily (Italy)—Constraints and Possibilities
Tatjana M. Gluhak,C. Schwall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the major and trace element compositions of the Selinunte grinding stones, made of grey vesicular lava, were analyzed by comparison with geochemical data from volcanic rocks in the Mediterranean, and the results are important in order to scrutinize trading connections, especially for the earlier times of settlement during the sixth century bc.

Preliminary u-pb detrital zircon ages from tufiti di tusa formation (Lucanian apennines, southern italy): Evidence of rupelian volcaniclastic supply
TL;DR: In this paper, detrital zircons from two samples of volcaniclastic arenites belonging to the Tufiti di Tusa Formation (TTF) outcropping in the Lucanian Apennines (Southern Italy) have been determined.

A plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic constrained by dynamic plate boundaries and restored synthetic oceanic isochrons
TL;DR: In this article, a plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic (Ordovician to Cretaceous) integrating dynamic plate boundaries, plate buoyancy, ocean spreading rates and major Tectonic and magmatic events was developed.

Max W. Schmidt,Stefano Poli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, phase diagrams of hydrous mid-ocean ridge (MOR) basalts to 330 km depth and hydrous peridotites to 250 km depth are compiled for conditions characteristic for subduction zones.

Extension in the Tyrrhenian Sea and Shortening in the Apennines as Result of Arc Migration Driven by Sinking of the Lithosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, an arc migration model was proposed to explain the dynamic relationship between extension in the Tyrrhenian basin and compression in the Apennines, and the estimated contemporaneous (post-middle Miocene) amounts of extension and shortening in the apennines appear to be very similar.

Kinematics of the western Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary model for the Cenozoic kinematic evolution of the western Mediterranean oceanic basins and their peripheral orogens is presented, which integrates the motion of Africa relative to Europe based upon a new study of Atlantic fracture zones using SEASAT data and the Lamont-Doherty magnetic anomaly database.
