Biostratigraphy of the upper part of Aitamir Formation based on calcareours nannofossils, Cherli section (NW Kopet-Dagh) [PDF]
Introduction The Kopet-Dagh sedimentary basin is located in north-east Iran, southern Turkmenistan and Afghanistan and is composed of Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary successions. Fifteen formations have been introduced in the Kopet-Dagh Basin.

Recognition of Oil Traps in the Kopet-Dagh Basin (Northeastern Iran) Using Fusion of Seismic Attributes, Petrophysical Logs and Geological Data [PDF]
Integrated analysis of oil traps, especially those related to facies changes, is far more complicated than reservoirs related to structural traps. The most useful way to identify these complex subsurface structures directly related to facies change is to

Geochemical and Isotopic Evolution of Late Oligocene Magmatism in Quchan, NE Iran
Abstract Magmatic activity that accompanied the collision between Arabia and Eurasia at ∼27 Ma, provides unique opportunities for understanding the triggers and magma reservoirs for collisional magmatism and its different styles in magmatic fronts and back‐arcs.

Wide‐range geographically discontinuous distributions have long intrigued scientists. We explore the role of ecology, geology, and dispersal in the formation of these large‐scale disjunctions, using the angiosperm tribe Putorieae (Rubiaceae) as a case study. From DNA sequences of nuclear ITS and six plastid markers, we inferred a phylogeny, obtained an

Abstract We provide the first measurement of strike‐slip and shortening rates across the 200‐km‐long right‐lateral strike‐slip Main Köpetdag Fault (MKDF) in Turkmenistan. Strike‐slip and shortening components are accommodated on parallel structures separated by ∼10 km.

Biostratigraphy of the Tirgan Formation in the Kopet-Dagh basin:Stratigraphic sections of the Tirgan village and Amirabad [PDF]
The Lower Cretaceous successions of the NE Iran in the sedimentary Kopet-Dagh basin are result from transgression of the Berriasian-Barremian marine, which are deposited after first erosional cycle (Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous).

Multistage dolomitization of upper jurassic mozduran formation, Kopet-Dagh Basin, n.e. Iran
This paper is a study of the origin and diagenetic history of the Upper Jurassic dolomites of the Mozduran Formation, from north eastern Iran, in the Kopet-Dagh Basin. Petrographic and geochemical studies indicate that the Mozduran dolomites were subjected to a complex diagenetic history, resulting five different dolomite—rock textures. Dolomite type 1

Biostratigraphy of the Cretaceous deposits based on ammonites in the southwest of Qayen area (Qumenjan section) [PDF]
Ammonite biostratigraphy could be used in age determination and correlation of rock units in different sedimentary basins. Qumenjan section with 125 meters thickness is mainly formed by grey sandy limestone with grey and thick-bedded limestone ...

3-D lithospheric structure and regional/residual Bouguer anomalies in the Arabia-Eurasia collision (Iran) [PDF]
The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components.
