The Kuhshah ultramafic complex is located in the south-east of Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone, near the probable remnants of Neotethys plate in Iran. It consists of highly depleted harzburgites, dunites, chromitite bands and altered gabbros. The ultramafic parts have been intruded by numerous clinopyroxenite dykes and veins. In the harzburgites, there are different generations of olivine, ort...

Some 43 samples collected from surficial sediments of Semnan Province (Alborz zone) and NE Isfahan Province (Central Iran zone) were analyzed, for constrains on provenance. Sand fraction were analyzed by XRF analyzer Philips Model PW 2450 in the laboratory of the Geology Survey Iran (GSI). Precision was 0.01%. Furthermore, 8 selected sediment samples and 8 samples from rock units from surroundi...

Iran has mountainous landscapes and half of its surface is occupied by highlands. Moreover, Iran is an arid country and deserts are located at lower altitudes. Most metropolitan areas are positioned in mid-altitudes between mountain and desert. Cities grow upwardly toward the highlands under pressures of urbanization and desertification. Foothill ecotones are a zone between upland mountains and...

the gutenberg–richter parameters (a and b), fractal dimension (dc), and relationships between these parameters are calculated for different regions of the north of central-east iran blocks (nceib). the whole examined area (between 34°-36° n and 55°-61° e) is divided into 55 equal square grids. both the a and b values for the frequency-magnitude distribution (fmd) and the fractal dimension (dc) ...

well exposed famennian, mainly carbonate rocks of the bahram formation in the vicinity of bagher abad village, central iran,yielded chondrichthyan teeth some sarcopterygii and actinopterygii teeth and fragments. three different genera were recognizedamong the chondrichthyan teeth represented by: phoebodus turnerae, ph. spp., deihim mansureae (m2, m3), stethacanthus sp..acanthodian and sarcopter...

upper devonian sediments of the kuh-e zard area northwest of zefreh, central iran, arecomposed mainly of brown and grey limestones with sandstone and shale intercalations. they contain tracefossils such as chondrites isp., diplocraterion parallelum, fustiglyphus annulatus, lockeia isp., phycodesisp., and taenidium barretti. these trace fossils indicate a shallow marine environment
