| Zusammenfassung |
| We report gravel of the River Euphrates, capped by basalt
that is Ar-Ar dated to ~9 Ma, at Shireen in northern Syria. This
gravel, preserved by the erosion-resistant basalt, allows us for the first
time to reconstruct the history of this major river during the Late Miocene.
In response to progressive regional surface uplift, the Euphrates extended
SE by ~800 km between the early Middle Miocene, when the coast was
near Kahramanmaraş in southern Turkey, and the Pliocene, when it lay in
western Iraq, east of the Arabian Platform uplands. |
