Abstract Due to the growing need for hydrocarbons and limited conventional resources, paying attention unconventional oil gas resources is essential. The upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous in western southwestern Iran contains most crucial source rocks of Zagros sedimentary basin. One richest shaly Garau Formation. Owing geochemical geological characteristics, Formation, with Neocomian Coniacian a...

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are the most serious plant parasitic nematodes having a broad host range exceeding 2,000 plant species. Quercus brantii Lindl. and Q. infectoria Oliv are the most important woody species of Zagros forests in west of Iran where favors sub-Mediterranean climate. National Botanical Garden of Iran (NBGI) is scheduled to be the basic center for research and education of bot...

Mineralization along continental suture zones is facilitated through the frequent presence of pathways from fertile mantle source regions to crustal repositories. Due their inherent rheological weakness, these are often concealed, which hinders surface-based observations. Here, we use zircon U-Pb and sericite 40Ar/39Ar dating, whole-rock geochemical data, investigate crystallization mineralizat...

six catchment areas of fars, where belong to bioclimatic zone of deciduous temperate forests of palearctic realm, first were . surveyed, and mapped (scale:1: 100,000). then, after ecological and socio economic data analysis and integration, the ecosystem map (mapping unit) of the area was depicted (makhdoum 1992). the ecological capability of catchment areas for agriculture, range management, f...

The Abu Jir fault zone in western Iraq that marks the limit of Zagros foreland basin merges with Anah graben north. northern segment and are inverted structures. In this study, we investigated timing mechanism inversion comparison other structures like Tel Hajar Sinjar, which located north closer to Arabia–Eurasia collision zone. study area is characterized by a local-scale northwestern-trendin...

BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that inaccurate suture passage during remplissage may contribute to a loss of external rotation, with the potential to cause posterior shoulder pain because of the proximity to the musculotendinous junction. PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of suture passage during remplissage and identify surface landmarks to improve accuracy. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laborat...

Abstract. The Zagros orogenic system resulted due to collision of the Arabian plate with Eurasian plate. region is characterized by ocean–continent subduction and continent–continent collision, convergence velocity shows variations from east west. Therefore, this complex tectonic stress a wide range diffuse or localized deformation between both plates. in situ GPS data are very limited sparsely...

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 ...
