TLDR
In this paper, four major sedimentary sequences are defined according to the main transgressive events and the subsequent shelf progradations in southern Turkey (Taurus Chain or Taurides) and southeastern Turkey (Border Folds of the Arabian Plate), nearly complete Cambrian to Ordovician successions are preserved.About:

Earth History and Palaeogeography
TL;DR: Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the present, this interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions and surface volcanism are linked to processes in the Earth's mantle, and to climate change and the evolution of Earth's biota.

Overview of the Palaeozoic–Neogene evolution of Neotethys in the Eastern Mediterranean region (southern Turkey, Cyprus, Syria)
TL;DR: In this article, a long-lived Tethys (Rheic, Palaeotethyan and Neotythyan oceans) was reconstructed for the easternmost Mediterranean and adjacent region.

Modeling the early Paleozoic long-term climatic trend
Elise Nardin,Yves Goddéris,Yannick Donnadieu,Guillaume Le Hir,Ronald C. Blakey,Emmanuelle Pucéat,Markus Aretz +6 more
TL;DR: The early Paleozoic climate has been described as warm and equable as mentioned in this paper, however, recent data based on conodont oxygen isotopic composition reveal a large, long, cooling trend through the Ordovician, followed by an abrupt cooling during the Late Ordovian glaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pre-orogenic detrital zircon record of the Peri-Gondwanan crust
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a statistical approach to data mining and quantitatively evaluating detrital age spectra for sedimentary provenance analyses and palaeogeographic reconstructions.

Early Paleozoic tectonics of Asia: Towards a full-plate model
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of salient geologic observations and paleomagnetic data from the various continental blocks and terranes of Asia is followed by the presentation of a new, full-plate tectonic model of the region from middle Cambrian to end-Silurian time (500-420 ǫ).

Tethyan evolution of Turkey: A plate tectonic approach
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural History and Tectonics of Iran: A Review
TL;DR: The structural development of the Iranian ranges has certain peculiarities which contradict the conventional geosynclinal theory of mountain building as mentioned in this paper, and the conventional tripartite division of Iran into an extensive median mass and two bordering ranges of geosyclinal origin (Zagros, Alborz) cannot be maintained.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model-independent framework of genetic units and bounding surfaces for sequence stratigraphy has been proposed, based on the interplay of accommodation and sedimentation (i.e., forced regressive, lowstand and highstand normal regressive), which are bounded by sequence stratigraphic surfaces.

A chronology of Paleozoic sea-level changes.
Bilal U. Haq,Stephen R. Schutter +1 more
TL;DR: A history of sea-level fluctuations for the entire Paleozoic by using stratigraphic sections from pericratonic and cratonic basins is reconstructed, revealing a gradual rise through the Cambrian and a short-lived but prominent withdrawal in response to Hirnantian glaciation.
