The Sabzevar ophiolite is a dismembered ophiolitic complex, which covers an area over 3000 โ€‹km2 from 56ยฐ12โ€ฒE to 58ยฐ28โ€ฒ E and from 36ยฐ3โ€ฒN to 36ยฐ42โ€ฒ N. It has a general Eโ€“W trend and is part of the Mesozoic ophiolites that mark the boundaries of the CEIM. All the different lithological units and formations in the Sabzevar ophiolitic mรฉlange are divided into two general genetic groups including: the ophiolitic (Late Cretaceousโ€“Early Paleocene) and the post-ophiolitic (Eocene to Plio-Quaternary arc) sequences.
