The ophiolites in the Zagros orogen are relics of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean, which existed between the continents of Laurasia and Gondwana. There is much debate about the formation and evolution of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean. Knowledge on its pre-collisional tectonic evolution is of critical importance in pr...
