Strike-Slip Basin – Its Configuration and Sedimentary Facies

Facies, sedimentary environments and sequence stratigraphy of Cretaceous deposits in the northwest of Azerbaijan, Iran

The Cretaceous deposits in Morakan, located in the northeast of Khoy, a town in western Azerbaijan province, Iran, are primarily made up of carbonate rocks. These deposits, which are of 717 meters thick, lie on the clastic facies of Jurassic and are covered with beneath the pelagic beds of the Upper Cretaceous. To investigate the facies, sedimentary environment and sequential stratigraphy of th...

Sedimentary Facies, Architectural Elements and Trace Fossils of Kashkan Formation, Folded Zagros Zone in SW Iran

The Kashkan Formation (Paleocene to Middle Eocene), consists of conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone in the Zagros Folded zone, southwest Iran. Type of the sedimentary facies, architectural elements and trace fossils show that Kashkan deposits were formed in a low sinuosity braided stream system, with north to south flow direction. The formation displays coarsening-upward succession reflects ...

Facies analysis, sedimentary environment and geochemistry of core sediments from the southern Coast of Caspian Sea, Mazandaran Province, Iran

1- Introduction The sediment cores BAG, AZD and AM in the Babolsar, Jouybar and Zaghmarz areas are located at the southern Iranian part of the coastal plain of the Caspian Sea. These areas are contained by major mountain ridge, the Alborz in the south (Central Alborz Structural Zone). The Alborz Mountain represent the main source of terrigenous materials in the South basin of the Caspian Sea. ...

Middle Permian Sedimentary Cycles and Facies Features in the Tieqiao Section in Laibin, Guangxi, South China

In the Late Paleozoic paleogeography, the Laibin area, South China, locates in the south-eastern margin of the Laibin-Heshan isolated carbonate platform. One global stratotype section for The Guadalupian–Lopingian (G/L) (The end of the Mid-Permian) transition is located in the Tieqiao section in Laibin area, which is regarded as appropriate one for the study. Based on the analysis, seven facies...
