The end of the Eocene greenhouse world was the most dramatic phase in the long-term
cooling trend of the Cenozoic Era. Here we show that the Arabia–Eurasia collision and the …

At least 12 km of strata ranging in age from the latest Precambrian to the Recent are
exposed in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. This sedimentary cover is characterized by distinct …

A sedimentological investigation of the Neogene deposits of the Zagros foreland basin in
SW Iran reveals a continuous and largely gradational passage from supratidal and sabkha …

The distributions of sediment grain types and microfacies in two outcrop sections in the
central part of the Zagros Fold and Thrust Belt, Iran, are used to interpret changes in salinity …

The configuration and timing of the Arabia‐Eurasia continental collision, part of the broader
Alpine‐Himalayan collisional system, remains controversial. We conducted sandstone …

The Iranian sector of the Persian Gulf is affected by more than 30 large diapiric structures
triggered by the mobilization of the Infracambrian Hormuz Complex, an evaporite-rich unit …

In contrast to the widely used sequence stratigraphic models for passive continental
margins, the stacking patterns of strata within epeiric seas, which are influenced by regional …

Petrographic and stable isotope investigations of Oligocene‐Miocene carbonates in the
Asmari Formation from the Gachsaran oilfield and surrounding area in SW Iran indicate that …

Abstract The Oligo-Miocene Asmari Formation is one of the most important hydrocarbon
reservoirs in the Middle East. The oilfield under study is one of the largest oilfields in the …

Abstract Lower Miocene in SW Iran consists of Gachsaran formation. This formation forms
one of the main caprocks of reservoirs of oil fields in the SW of Iran that comprises a thick …
