Abstract. Recognition of a new angular unconformity and the synthesis detrital zircon U–Pb (U–Th) / He provenance records, including double dating, from NW Zagros region elucidate basin dynamics foreland wedge-top intermontane units, as well tectonic processes in source terranes response to different geodynamic phases. In this contribution, we present field observations data hinterland basins r...

BACKGROUND The Hajar Mountains of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the highest mountain range in Eastern Arabia. As a result of their old geological origin, geographical isolation, complex topography and local climate, these mountains provide an important refuge for endemic and relict species of plants and animals with strong Indo-Iranian affinities. Among vertebrates, the rock climbi...

Abstract Due to the growing need for hydrocarbons and limited conventional resources, paying attention unconventional oil gas resources is essential. The upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous in western southwestern Iran contains most crucial source rocks of Zagros sedimentary basin. One richest shaly Garau Formation. Owing geochemical geological characteristics, Formation, with Neocomian Coniacian a...

flower morphology of ten fritillaria species of subgenera theresia and fritillaria growing wild in iran is studied using seventy morphological characters. qualitative and quantitative datasets separated taxa into subgenera, sectional and groups. three enigmatic species f. caucasica, f. zagrica (endemic to zagros mountains) and f. pinardii (recently reported from zagros mountains) appeared as cl...
