Crustal scale geometry of the Zagros fold–thrust belt, Iran
Balanced cross-sections across the Zagros fold–thrust belt in Iran are used to analyze the geometry of deformation within the sedimentary cover rocks, and to test the hypothesis of basement involved thrusting throughout the fold–thrust belt. Although the Zagros deformation front is a relatively rectilinear feature, the sinuous map-view morphology of the mountain front is a result of a 6 km stru...
متن کاملFolding Geometry Surveys of Asef Mountain, Northern Shiraz (Southwestern Folded Zagros Belt)
In this paper the geometrical relationship of the folds which exist in the Folded Zagros Mountains, including Asef Mountain (northern Iran), were studied. The southern and western zones of the Zagros Mountains are called the Folded Zagros. These zones extend approximately 1,375 km in length with a width ranging from 120 to 250 km. Asef Mountain is located in northern Shiraz (from northern Sarda...
متن کاملCollapse structures in Dowgonbadan region, Zagros fold- thrust belt
Allochthonous masses are common structures in Zagros fold-thrust belt. They are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. However, large allochthonous masses mapped in Dowgonbadan area in Dezful Embayment near the Mountain Front Fault (MFF) of Zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...
متن کاملgeometric and kinematic analysis of faults in around of asef mountains, north of shiraz (folded zagros belt)
in current paper, geometrical relationship between the longitudinal faults of a zone of the folded zagros, surrounding asef mountains (north of shiraz) that follow the northwest-southeast structural trend (eg. zarghan, katah and sadra faults) has been studied. a western and southern zone of zagros mountain chain called folded zagros has a length of about 1375 km and a width between 120 and 250 ...
متن کاملFirst Finding of Satin Spar Gemstone in Iran, Folded Zagros Zone, Fars Region
The gypsum mineralization occurred in the form of Satin Spar and Selenite in the south and southwest of the Fars province in the folded Zagros zone. In this region, Satin Spar mineralization has been formed as stratiform between the red marl and siltstone units of Late Miocene–Pliocene in Agha Jari, Bakhtiari, and the Gachsaran formations. The reserves of Satin Spar in this area are at least 20...
