EAST IRAN, MIDDLE EAST: NEW TECTONIC-MAGMATIC- METALLOGENIC DATA, "HOT" TECTONICS, PROBLEMS, INCLUSIONS, HYDROCARBONS, AND CONSTRAINTS

2013 
A satisfactory tectonic-magmatic-metallogenic correlation in the East Iran, Middle East for the Alpine time was revealed in the region (mainly metallogeny – led by outstanding regional trio: Drs. E.Romanko, A.Houshmand-Zadeh, and M.A.A.Nogol Sadat). Geological northeastern zonation due to African superplume activity including probably slab delamination is revealed too. Strongly dominated rocks of calc-alkaline and shoshonite series deal with a known subduction of Arabian plate beneath the Central Iran block. Intraplate African superplume-related rocks are subalkaline – alkaline ones including Quaternary carbonatites of Hanneshin, Afghanistan. Tectonic-magmatic pair could be postulated here. General oil / hydrocarbons (HC) productivity decreasing to the north could be in an agreement with corresponding decreasing of African superplume activity too. Regional economic Cu-Au etc. metallogeny is mainly stipulated by a subduction mentioned.
