چکیده
Reconnaissance geologic mapping of south-central Oregon is being done by the U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the State of Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, as part of a larger program to prepare a geologic map of the eastern half of the state. Current work in south-central Oregon is limited geographically to the eastern half

Structural evidence on strike slip Kinematic inversion of the Kushk-e-Nosrat Fault zone, Central Iran
NW-tending faults in Central Iran are expected to represent dominant dextral components due to their orientation with respect to the northward motion of the Arabian Plate with respect to Eurasia. However, previously published works, as well as the focal mechanism solution of the area's earthquakes, indicate evidence of sinistral kinematic along the major faults in Central Iran. Here we present ...

متن کاملPossible Basement Transverse Faults in the Western Alborz, Northern Iran
Transverse basement (TB) faults are important structures in the mountain belts or sedimentary basins influencing various aspects of them. The origin of these faults is diverse, but their effect on the shape and configuration of continental margins is characteristics. The Western Alborz range that borders the South Caspian basin to southwest is a complex range with principal faults and known ear...
متن کاملPetrographic Evidences for the Origin of Iron in IOCG IronDeposits of Kuh-E-Faryadoon and Kouli-Kosh, Southeast Central Iran
Kuh-E-Faryadoon and Kouli Kosh iron deposits are hosted by regional metamorphic rocks of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone around Deh-Bid area. Plugs and domes of acid rocks protrude these metamorphic rocks. A mylonitization event is super imposed on acid rock and metamorphic complexes. Field, petrological and geochemical studies have shown that (1) Iron mineralization have occurred during mylonitization in...
متن کاملMicrobiostratigraphy of the Qom Formation in south and west of Tafresh, Central Iran
The Qom Formation, a series of shales, sandstones and carbonate deposits, is the last transgression of the sea in Central Iran sedimentary basin. Foraminifera are one of the most important and numerous fossil groups present in the Qom Formation. In this study, the micropaleontology of the Qom Formation in three measured stratigraphic sections in south and west of Tafresh (Rakin, Band-e-Ali Nagh...
