benthic foraminiferal assemblages from maastrichtian strata, gansserina gansseri-abathamphalus mayaroensis planktonic foraminiferal zone, of the abtalkh formation at aitamir section (west of the kopeh-dagh basin) were investigated in order to evaluate the palaeoenvironmental changes (organic matter flux and bottom-water oxygenation). maastrichtian faunal assemblages are well preserved and diver...

in central part of kopeh dagh there is an array of active right-lateral strike-slip faults that obliquely cut the range and produce offsets of several kilometers in the geomorphology and geological structure. geomorphic indices indicate the presence of differential uplifting in history of this area. tectonic activity of the study area is investigated by a large number of dem derived catchments ...

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages from Maastrichtian strata, Gansserina gansseri-Abathamphalus mayaroensis Planktonic Foraminiferal Zone, of the AbTalkh Formation at Aitamir section (west of the Kopeh-Dagh basin) were investigated in order to evaluate the palaeoenvironmental changes (organic matter flux and bottom-water oxygenation). Maastrichtian faunal assemblages are well preserved and diver...

the sanganeh formation crops out throughout the kopeh-dagh basin and is mainly composed of shale and marl with interbeds of siltstone and limestone. in this study, the sanganeh formation, with 550 meter thickness, has been studied at north of the sanganeh village in eastern parts of the basin. according to distribution of organic matter content, four palynofacies types are identified. the main ...

The aim of this study is to analyze the assemblage of trilobites in the Silurian sequences of Iran by exploring stratigraphic section of the Silurian Niur Formation (Asadli section).  Based on comprehensive field studies and laboratory investigations three Trilobite genera were identified in the study area including Calymene blumenbachii, Gravicalymene convolva, Dalmanites brevigladiolus </...

a stratigraphic section from the tirgan formation was selected in arkan village nearby bojnourd city in order to study echinoderm fauna systematically. many specimens of echinoderms, especially toxasteridae which is associated with brachiopods were collected and studied systematically in this paper. microscopie slides were also prepared and studied. all slides contain benthic foraminifers and c...

this paper shows how multifractal analysis can be used to characterize the spatial distribution of epicenters in the zagros and alborz-kopeh dagh regions of iran. the main multifractal characteristics, dq, f(αq), τq, αq and a set of multifractal parameters defined from the shape of the f(αq)-spectrum including the width of f(αq)-spectrum, nonuniformity factor, combined parameter, coefficients o...
