title: The Early Mesozoic evolution of the Western Greater Caucasus (Russia): Triassic–Jurassic sedimentary and magmatic history
abstract: Abstract The Greater Caucasus (GC) forms a high Alpine fold-and-thrust belt on the southern margin of the East European Platform (EEP). The Triassic, and particularly, the Jurassic history of the Western Greater Caucasus region is important for our understanding of the palaeogeographic and tectonic evolution of the western Tethys area. In order to better constrain the nature and relevance of these events in the evolution of the region, which are classically described as the Late Triassic to Late
