abstract

kashafrud formation, siliciclastic strata, middle jurassic in age, commences with basal fluvio conglomerates. the strata are described in terms of 3 facies association (conglomerate, sandstone and mudstone), which were deposited in a fluvio-deltaic and turbities environments. the basal kashafrud strata at 2 areas (8 sections), in the eastern kopet-dagh basin, consist predominantly of boulder to pebble conglomerate, locally interbedded with sandstone and shale, has been studied. the thickness of facies association ranges from 2.8 m at agh-darband section to 27 m at pol-gazi section. the basal association comprises 2 gravely lithofacies (gcm, gmm), and 3 sandy lithofacies (sm, st, sr), and 2 architectural elements (sb, gb). imbrication of gravels indicates a generally northerly paleoflow for the studied sections. clast-supported conglomerate is mostly orthoconglomerate, composed mainly of rounded to angular and poorly to very poorly sorted clasts of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, up to 40 cm in diameter. the facies is present in bed sets up to 9 m thick, which mainly rest on erosional surfaces that are locally concave-up, implying that the conglomerates are channel fills. the beds are crudely stratified, with bedding defined by layers of sand and shale. matrix-supported conglomerate (paraconglomerate) forms units up to 1m thick, which only at agh-darband section has been identified, with clasts up to 50 cm in diameter composed entirely of the locally adjacent volcanic basement rocks.

Source and diagenesis of Middle Jurassic marine mudstones, Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran

Middle Jurassic fluvio-deltaic and turbiditic mudstones of the Kashafrud Formation, are important hydrocarbon sources in the gas-rich Kopet-Dagh Basin, northeast Iran. Clay mineral assemblages are important for interpretation of sediment provenance and for understanding burial diagenetic cementation in sandstones. The clay mineral assemblages in mudrocks in two areas, Saleh-Abad and Senjedak, w...

Porosity evolution and diagenetic history of the upper Jurassic Mozduran Formation, eastern Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran

The Upper Jurassic carbonates of the eastern part of the Kopet-Dagh Basin, with thickness of 470 m, are the major gas-bearing reservoir in NE Iran. The objectives of this study are recognition of diagenetic history and estimation of porosity related to dolomitization. Based on field and laboratory study, four carbonate facies associations have been identified at the Mazdavand outcrop. Most of t...
