title: The East Anatolia–Lesser Caucasus ophiolite: An exceptional case of large-scale obduction, synthesis of data and numerical modelling
abstract: We present new, geological, metamorphic, geochemical and geochronological data on the East Anatolian–Lesser Caucasus ophiolites. These data are used in combination with a synthesis of previous data and numerical modelling to unravel the tectonic emplacement of ophiolites in this region. All these data allow the reconstruction of a large obducted ophiolite nappe, thrusted for >100 km and up to 250 km on the Anatolian-Armenian block. The ophiolite petrology shows three distinct magmatic series, hi
