چکیده

the larger benthic foraminifera gyroconulina columellifera schroeder & darmoian, 1977 (type-locality: maastrichtian aqra formation of iraq) is described for the first time from two sections of the maastrichtian tarbur formation of the zagros fold-thrust-belt, sw iran. new details on its wall microstructure are provided. the microfacies is represented by bioclastic wacke-/pack-/grainstones with benthic foraminifera (e.g., loftusia ssp., neobalkhania bignoti, omphalocyclus macroporus) and dasycladalean algae. the iranian discoveries give further evidence for the biostratigraphic importance of the taxon. the biostratigraphy of the tarbur formation based on larger benthic foraminifera is reviewed and critically discussed. both gyroconulina columellifera schroeder & darmoian, and the dasycladale pseudocymopolia anadyomenea (elliott), which have been first described from the maastrichtian of iraq, are now also reported from the tarbur formation of iran. their restricted occurrences along the southeastern northern margin of the arabian plate and the taurides of turkey (anatolian plate) are indicative for a late cretaceous provincialism, partly coinciding with the larger loftusia bioprovince.

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...

Collapse 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...

Larger benthic foraminifera from the Middle Eocene

Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) are common and diverse throughout the Paleogene sediments of southern Tanzania, but have previously been little studied. A recent programme of onshore drilling known as the Tanzania Drilling Project has recovered large proportion of this succession for palaeoclimatic and palaeontological study. The sediment is largely a hemipelagic clay with secondary gravity s...

Kinematics of the Dena Fault and Its Relation to Deep-Seated Transverse Faults in Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt, Iran

The NNW-trending Dena Fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in Borujen region. The fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. This study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of Dena Fault based on field evidence....

In-situ stress regime in the Asmari reservoir of the Zeloi and Lali oil fields, northwest of the Dezful embayment in Zagros fold-thrust belt, Iran

This paper analyzes in-situ stress field in the Asmari formation with in the complex structures of the Zeloi and Lali oilfields located in the Dezful embayment, SW Iran. The orientation of the maximum horizontal stress, SHmax is determined on the basis of compressive borehole breakouts and drilling-induced tensile fractures observed in eight oil wells, in which we focus on well-log based method...
