The image logs interpretation from two wells in a fold hosting a west Iranian oil field located in the Dezful Embayment, SW Iran reveal the occurrence of two major systems of natural fractures. In the central part of the fold, the fold-related fractures include two sets of fractures trending N53°E and N34°E. In the eastern and also curved part of the fold, the strike of open fractures varies fr...

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....

the zagros fold-and-thrust belt is tectonically active and often has active faults with insensible and slow motions. determining the rate of movement and displacement in these faults requires very precise measurements. one of the measurement methods of fault movements is using geodetic and micro-geodetic studies. this research is focused on one of the active faults in the north of shiraz city, ...

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 ...
