Development and Folding of the NW Zagros Foreland Basin, Lurestan Povince, SW Iran [PDF]
It is crucial for exploration in fold-and-thrust belts to get robust understanding of foreland basin evolution and deformation, in order to constrain the timing of hydrocarbon generation, migration and trap formation. Although it is widely accepted that the main phase of deformation in the Zagros belt occurred in the Miocene and Pliocene, recent field ...

Introduction Phosphorites are marine sediments of biogenic origin containing 15–20 wt% P2O5 and between 50 and 120 ppm U (Boggs, 2009; Tzifas et al., 2014; Zarasvandi et al., 2019).

Fingerprinting stress: stylolite and calcite twinning paleopiezometry revealing the complexity of progressive stress patterns during folding-the case of the Monte Nero anticline in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]
In this study we show for the first time how quantitative stress estimates can be derived by combining calcite twinning and stylolite roughness stress fingerprinting techniques in a fold-and-thrust belt.

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.

Microfacies, depositional environment and carbonate association of the Asmari Formation in Tang-e-Gojestan [PDF]
The Asmari Formation was logged and sampled in the Tang-e-Gojestan stratigraphic section (Eshgar Anticline, Izeh Zone) to study microfacies, depositional environment and carbonate associations. The Asmari Formation with 298 m-thickness mainly consists of

Mineralogical and Grain Size Analysis of Bai Hassan Formation Terraces in Al-Teeb Area, SE Iraq
Bai Hassan Formation is exposed as remnants of beds from previous formations due to severe erosion that were removed. Results from grain size analysis revealed that most of the studied sediments were coarse-grained sediments ranging from coarse ...
