چکیده

the nnw-trending dena fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of zagros fold-thrust belt in borujen region. the fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. this study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of dena fault based on field evidence. precise field mapping and structural analysis in four structural traverses across the dena fault zone indicates that it composes of several sub parallel surface fault segments with right-lateral strike-slip to reverse right-lateral fault mechanism. coincidence of the dena fault with the t-11 aeromagnetic lineament as well as evidence on the fault activity on isopach maps from cretaseous to miocene time implies that the north segment of the dena fault has kinematics relation to this lineament. the low angle between the general trending of the mapped fault segments on the surface with the trend of the aeromagnetic lineament implies their close relationship. therefore, it is proposed that the mapped fault segments are the riedel shear faults of an active deep-seated strike-slip fault on the surface. in addition, the proposed kinematics for the dena fault is compatible with the focal mechanism of earthquakes epicentered along the fault. the result of this interpretation documents that the dena fault is a basement fault with right-lateral strike-slip mechanism.

Kinematics of the Dena Fault and Its Relation to Deep-Seated Transverse Faults in Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt, Iran

The NNW-trending Dena Fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in Borujen region. The fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. This study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of Dena Fault based on field evidence....

Crustal scale geometry of the Zagros fold–thrust belt, Iran

Balanced cross-sections across the Zagros fold–thrust belt in Iran are used to analyze the geometry of deformation within the sedimentary cover rocks, and to test the hypothesis of basement involved thrusting throughout the fold–thrust belt. Although the Zagros deformation front is a relatively rectilinear feature, the sinuous map-view morphology of the mountain front is a result of a 6 km stru...

Collapse structures in Dowgonbadan region, Zagros fold- thrust belt

Allochthonous masses are common structures in Zagros fold-thrust belt. They are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. However, large allochthonous masses mapped in Dowgonbadan area in Dezful Embayment near the Mountain Front Fault (MFF) of Zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...

In-situ stress regime in the Asmari reservoir of the Zeloi and Lali oil fields, northwest of the Dezful embayment in Zagros fold-thrust belt, Iran

This paper analyzes in-situ stress field in the Asmari formation with in the complex structures of the Zeloi and Lali oilfields located in the Dezful embayment, SW Iran. The orientation of the maximum horizontal stress, SHmax is determined on the basis of compressive borehole breakouts and drilling-induced tensile fractures observed in eight oil wells, in which we focus on well-log based method...
