Tectonophysics 

TL;DR: The Karakaya marginal sea was already closed by earliest Jurassic times because early Jurassic sediments unconformably overlie its deformed lithologies as discussed by the authors, and it was closed by collision of the Bitlis-Poturge fragment with Arabia.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the Tethys belt from the Pliensbachian (190 Ma) to the Tortonian (10 Ma) is depicted at 1 20,000,000 scale.

TL;DR: Plumbotectonics is an attempt to model the geochemical behaviour of U, Th and Pb, among major terrestrial reservoirs in agreement with observational data as discussed by the authors, by recycling rock through the orogenic environment, a dynamically communicating upper crust, lower crust, and mantle can produce the required patterns of lead-isotope evolution.

TL;DR: In this article, an inextensive system of magnetic susceptibility anisotropy factors is suggested which is sufficient in the majority of practical applications for characterizing the magnetic fabric of rocks.

TL;DR: The Zagros orogenic belt of Iran is the result of the opening and closure of the Neo-Tethys oceanic realm, and consists, from northeast to southwest, of three parallel tectonic subdivisions: 1) the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage; 2. (2) the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone; and 3. (3) the zagros simply folded belt.
