Abstract

The Sistan Suture Zone of eastern Iran is a Cretaceous to Tertiary orogenic belt that formed by closure of a northwards-projecting arm of the Neo-Tethys ocean. Disrupted ophiolitic rocks within the subduction complex include a tectonic mélange of metamorphic rocks dominated by metabasites, metacherts, and metaspilites. The latter rocks occur as small (
