We are trying to find out the youngest age, and tectono-magmatic character (MOR, OI, SSZ, etc) of oceanic volcanism along the southern branch of Neotethys from SE Turkey to Zagros and Oman. Our question is whether there were still bits and pieces of preserved oceanic lithosphere intruded by subduction-related magmatic rocks during Oligocene and early Miocene?
To simplify the question; what are the youngest ages of MOR- or SSZ – type rocks along the southern Neotethys to prove the supposed oceanic crust generation during Tertiary ?
Dear Tayebe Khaksar
The post- orogenic magmatisim obviously lasted in Late Tertiary.
What I need to know is the youngest ages of oceanic volcanism including any kind of SSZ, OIB , and MORB.

hi
is this article can help you?
' THE STUDY OF GEOCHEMICAL NATURE OF TERTIARY VOLCANICS AND YOUNGER BASALTIC ROCKS IN NORTHEAST REGION OF BIRJAND'
Aren't these Tertiary volcanics formed in continental arc and within-plate settings?
I need oceanic ones.
Yes that's right, I think that there is no such example in Iran.If you find the answer to your question please send to me.
