The Dzag schists to the north of the ophiolite zone have previously been interpreted as part of an accretionary wedge. |
The complexes were stacked during the Devonian in an accretionary wedge to the west or NW of the Rheic oceanic basin. |
The Oman Fault separates the Zagros fold and thrust belt from the Makran accretionary wedge in the east. |
This assemblage is interpreted as the accretionary prism of an active continental margin. |
The disposition of these three neighbouring units probably corresponds to their original relations in the growing accretionary wedge. |
Around both zones accretionary wedges are indications of Cretaceous subduction. |
