Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists have been occurred in southwest of Zanjan city from the Soltanieh belt. The Soltanieh belt in northwest of Iran is uplifted basement of Precambrian-Paleozoic in main central Iran zone and includes outcrops of Precambrian, Paleozoic and Mesozoic Formations. Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists, the oldest stratigraphy unit in the region, consist o...

new simplified tectonic models and depositional history of late cretaceous rocks are established in a part of zagros orogenic belt that is located in the northeastern iraq. these rocks constutes the most important cretaceous oil reservoir in the middle east. the dependent tools are petrography, field study and the concept of drowning phases. this concept is relatively new and accurate in explan...

Abstract Hormuz salt formation is considered the origin of evaporated deposits in Zagros and its ductile behavior has been known as reason for inhomogeneous deformation Zagros. However, our knowledge about this limited to domes on surface. In study, local earthquakes recorded by a temporary dense seismological network 17 stations, deployed southern margin Simply Folded Belt (SFB) southwestern I...
