In order to improve techniques for provenance studies, and especially to address the
question of sediment recycling, morphological changes of two minerals with contrasting …

An implicit assumption of most sedimentary provenance analyses is a direct link between
source and sink. However, recycling of sedimentary detritus from pre‐existing strata …

The provenance of southern Caspian coastal sediments was investigated based on light
and heavy mineral distribution. Optical mineralogy and grain size analysis were performed …

Abstract The Levant Basin in the Eastern Mediterranean contains an~ 3-km-thick,
predominantly siliciclastic section of Oligocene–Miocene age, which hosts large …

We used petrographic, heavy-mineral, and geochronological signatures of sand-sized
grains to document an exceptional case of long-distance sediment transport dominated by …

Successions of a controversial period of time in the Zagros and Arabian Plate stratigraphic
column, including Zakeen (Devonian) and Faraghan (early Permian) formations are …

Unique palaeogeographical peculiarities of sedimentary formations are important for
geological heritage conservation and use for the purposes of tourism. The heritage value of …

The study of selected logs from the Central-Eastern Iran Microplate (CEIM; area of Arusan)
and Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (SSZ; areas of Esfahan east and Tiran) constrains timing and …

We used detrital zircon U/Pb geochronology and apatite (U–Th–Sm)/He thermochronology
to better constrain depositional ages and sedimentation rates for the Pliocene Productive …

ABSTRACT The Miocene-Pliocene Agha Jari and Bakhtyari Formations of southwestern Iran
comprise a continuous coarsening-upward synorogenic molasse sequence deposited in a …
