Zusammenfassung

Glaukophane Grünschiefer-Metamorphose tritt östlich der Zagros-überschiebung in NW-Iran auf. Es wird angenommen, da\ sie mit der Prä-Zagros-Subduktionszone in Zusammenhang steht; sie könnte bis spätestens im Jungtertiär erfolgt sein. Mesozoische und präkambrische Metamorphose auf dem Iranischen Plateau ergänzen das der Hochdruckmetamorphose unterworfene Gebiet zu langgestreckter paariger Anordnung.

Abstract

Glaucophanitic greenschist metamorphism occurs east of the Zagros Thrust in NW Iran. It is considered to be associated with the pre-Zagros subduction zone and may be as young as late Teritiary. Mesozoic and Precambrian metamorphism on the Iranian platform complement the high-pressure metamorphic terrain to produce a paired belt.

Résumé

Le métamorphisme glaucophanitique de facies greenschist se rencontre à l'est du chevauchement de Zagros, au NW de l'Iran. On le considère comme se ratttachant à la zone de subduction du Pré-Zagros et il pourrait dater au plus tard du Tertiaire supérieur. Les métamorphismes mésozoÏque et pré-cambrien dans le Plateau de l'Iran complètent le métamorphisme de haute pression auquel fut soumis ce domaine ordonné en une double chaÎne allongée.
