چکیده
Detailed geological mapping contributed towards the tectonic framework of the Kala Chitta Range for the purpose of a compressive knowledge of the mode of occurrence of the Fire Clay horizons in the Datta Formation .Furthermore, detailed analytical work was carried out to elucidate the mineralogy of the Fire Clays. Lithological details and the depositional style have been highlighted comparative data of the Datta Formation with the adjoining areas has also been presented.

Organic Geochemistry and Paleoenvironments of Deposition of the Middle Jurassic Sediments from the Tabas Basin, Central Iran
In an attempt to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of deposition for the Middle Jurassic Baghamshah formation, samples collected from six outcrop sections along the Shotori swell were subjected to detailed geochemical analyses. Bulk geochemical and biological marker data indicate a logical trend of the variation of organic input, salinity, and oxicity within Baghamshah paleoenvironments across ...

Jurassic deposits are well exposed in the Bazehowz area, South west of Mashhad city, East Alborz, Iran. It contains plant macrofossilsbelonging to eighteen species of eleven genera of various orders such as Equisetales, Filicales, Bennettitales, Cycadales,Corystospermales, Caytoniales, Ginkgoales and Pinales. Two biozones were recognized in the type section of Bazehowz Formation.Biozone I is an...
متن کاملPorosity evolution and diagenetic history of the upper Jurassic Mozduran Formation, eastern Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran
The Upper Jurassic carbonates of the eastern part of the Kopet-Dagh Basin, with thickness of 470 m, are the major gas-bearing reservoir in NE Iran. The objectives of this study are recognition of diagenetic history and estimation of porosity related to dolomitization. Based on field and laboratory study, four carbonate facies associations have been identified at the Mazdavand outcrop. Most of t...
متن کاملNeocomian Fahliyan Formation carbonates in the oil well X2 (Dorood oil field, Persian Gulf): Biostratigraphic data from benthic foraminifera and algae
The Fahliyan Formation of the Khami Group is the most important oil and gas reservoir in southwestern Iran. The formation attains a thickness of 435.5 m at the oil well X2 in Dorood oil field, Persian Gulf. It is represented mainly by thin-bedded limestones. This formation unconformably overlies the evaporate late Jurassic Hith Formation and conformably underlies the Gadvan Formation. Integrate...
متن کاملSea-level change and deep sea sequence stratigraphy: A Middle Jurassic siliciclastic strata (Kashafrud Formation), NE Iran
The Upper Bajocian- Lower Bathonian succession in the Kopet-Dagh Basin of NE Iran represents fluvio-deltaic to turbidite deposits. The Kashafrud Formation provides an excellent opportunity to study the interplay between deep-water sedimentation and syndepositional tectonic subsidence (or uplift) in the region. The effects of these processes caused sea-level changes, variation in depositional se...
