Résumé Based on a review of literature and a few case studies, this paper summarizes the
state of the art on the dating of folds and thrusts, then presents and discusses how recent …

The Zagros foldbelt–foreland system in SW Iran is a prolific hydrocarbon province with
known reserves of more than 90 billion brl of oil and 800 TCF of natural gas. Establishing the …

We study the transition from passive margin to foreland basin sedimentation now exposed in
the High Zagros belt to provide chronological constraints on the initial stage of Arabia …

The evolution of the Amiran and Mesopotamian flexural basins of the Zagros belt is
approached by coupled 2‐D forward modeling of orogenic wedge formation, lithospheric …

The central part of the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt is characterized by a series of right-lateral
and left-lateral transverse tear fault systems, some of them being ornamented by salt diapirs …

The integration of biostratigraphy, strontium isotope stratigraphy, and magnetostratigraphy
allowed for the precise dating of the> 3.0-km-thick marine to non-marine foreland …

Salt tectonics in the Eastern Persian Gulf (Iran) is linked to a unique salt‐bearing system
involving two overlapping 'autochthonous' mobile source layers, the Ediacaran–Early …

Salt diapirs in southern Iran provide excellent exposures of the host rock sedimentary
sequences that record salt diapiric growth in compressional settings. This study addresses …

Differentiating compressional growth strata from halokinetic sequences is not straightforward
in foreland fold‐and‐thrust belts where compressional and diapiric processes were coeval …

A forward sequence of folding is interpreted in the northwest Zagros fold belt using two new
magnetostratigraphic studies to date non-marine foreland successions in the Afrineh and …
