Of highland-lowland borderlands: local societies and foreign power in the Zagros-Mesopotamian interface [PDF]
Narratives of civilization are spun from the juxtaposition of a civilized self with that of a barbarous other. Such an opposition is never more easily constructed than from the distinctiveness of lowland and mountain topographies, environments, and life ...

The Miocene subsidence pattern of the NW Zagros foreland basin reflects the southeastward propagating tear of the Neotethys slab [PDF]
Tectonic processes resulting from solid Earth dynamics control uplift and generate sediment accommodation space via subsidence. Unraveling the mechanism of basin subsidence elucidates the link between deep-Earth and surface processes.

Reappraisal of lithology and depositional environment of carbonate-siliciclastic succession of the Pabdeh Formation in SE Ilam Province, W Iran [PDF]
The Pabdeh Formation (Paleocene–Oligocene) is located in the Zagros foreland basin. This formation was well appreciated as a source rock and somehow a potential reservoir particularly in the Dezful Embayment.

Biostratigraphic Study of the Gurpi Formation Based on Planktonic Foraminifera In Lar Area (Kuh-e-kurdeh Section) [PDF]
The study of planktonic foraminifera of the Gurpi formations at Lar area (Kuh-e-kurdeh section) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially Tethysian domain. Five biozones were determined.

Biostratigraphy of the Pabdeh Formation based on planktonic foraminifera in the Tang-e-Chogan section in Interior Fars, Zagros Basin [PDF]
The biostratigraphy of the marly-limestone Pabdeh Formation has been studied in a section located in the Interior Fars (folded Zagros). Five assemblage biozones of plankton foraminifera with Early Eocene to Late Eocene age were identified in the studied ...

Constraint on foreland basin migration in the Zagros mountain belt using Sr isotope stratigraphy [PDF]
We have constrained the time-space migration of the Zagros foredeep basin by performing Sr isotope stratigraphy on 31 samples of marine macrofossils from Neogene sediments now exposed in the Zagros mountain belt in southwest Iran.
