Three‐dimensional modeling that integrates fluvial sediment transport, crustal‐scale tectonic deformation, and lithospheric flexural subsidence is carried out to simulate the landscape drainage evolution of Ebro sedimentary basin (NE Iberia). The Basin underwent a long period closed intramountain as result topography generation at Pyrenees, Iberian Range, Catalan Coastal Range. In late Oligocene, Range extension leading formation Valencia Trough (NW Mediterranean), but remained for nearly 15...
Abstract Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains are presented in this work integrating geological geophysical local global datasets. The cross-section reproduces surficial folding thrusting of thick cover succession, including near top Sarvak Formation (~90 Ma) that forms cross-section. base Arabian crust is constrained by recently published seismic receiver function results showing a deepening Moho from 42 ± 2 km undeformed foreland basin to...
Late Cretaceous emplacement of ophiolitic-radiolaritic thrust sheets over the Arabian passive margin was first manifestation protracted closure Neotethys Ocean, which ended with continental collision between Arabia and central Iran formation present Zagros fold belt. This tectonic stacking produced a flexural basin (the Amiran Basin: 400 × 200 km in size) northwest that filled 1225-m-thick shallowing-upward detrital succession made up Amiran, Taleh Zang, Kashkan Formations. sits...
Abstract The Barremian–Aptian upper Khami Group and Albian–Campanian Bangestan have been studied at outcrop in Lurestan, SW Iran. comprises a thin deltaic wedge (Gadvan Fm) transgressively overlain by shelfal carbonates (Dariyan Fm). Dariyan Fm can be divided into lower units separated major intra-Aptian fracture-controlled karst. top of the Daryian is capped Arabian plate-wide Aptian–Albian unconformity. overlying includes Kazhdumi, Sarvak, Surgah Ilam formations. Kazhdumi represents mixed...
Abstract: Anticlines of the Lurestan Province in Zagros fold–thrust belt have been studied by integrating field-based analysis with use high-resolution satellite images and data available from literature. The distribution folds southeastern Province, expressed terms axial length wavelength distribution, shows a direct link characteristics sedimentary multilayer which developed. Within carbonate deposits Late Cretaceous Bangestan Group transition pelagic to neritic facies determines threefold...
The Atlas Mountains are classically regarded as a failed Mesozoic rift arm subject to Alpine inversion, folding and thrusting. Here, we present new integrated structural sedimentological studies that have revealed numerous Early–Middle Jurassic diapiric ridges minibasins, characterized by distinctive halokinetic structures. Diachroneity in halokinesis is observed across the Central High Atlas, waning first SW during (Jbel Azourki Tazoult ridges) continuing late Middle towards NE (Imilchil...
Abstract: We present and use the chronostratigraphy of 13 field logs detailed mapping to constrain evolution early Zagros foreland basin, in NW Iran. Large foraminifera, calcareous nannofossil, palynological 87 Sr/ 86 Sr analysis supplied ages indicating a Campanian–early Eocene age basin infill, which is characterizd by diachronous, southwestward migrating, shallowing upwards, mixed clastic–carbonate succession. Growth synclines local palaeoslope variations indicate syndepositional folding...
Abstract This paper presents a new southern North Atlantic plate model from Late Cretaceous to present, with the aim of constraining kinematics Iberian during last 83.5 Myr. is presented along detailed isochron map generated through analysis 3 aeromagnetic tracks and ~400 ship National Centers for Environmental Information database. We present technique obtain well‐constrained estimates Iberia‐North America motions magnetic anomalies, overcoming scarcity large‐offset fracture zones transform...
Abstract The halokinetic structure of inverted salt‐related continental margins is frequently obliterated by compressional overprinting. Cretaceous Sopeira and Sant Gervàs subbasins the Ribagorça Basin (south central Pyrenees) show evidence extensional tectonics diapiric growth along Iberian Margin Mesozoic Pyrenean rift. We present an integrated field‐based tectonic‐sedimentary study to reconstruct evolution system previous to, in early stages of, orogeny. ~4 km thick Albian‐Cenomanian...
The evolution of the Amiran and Mesopotamian flexural basins Zagros belt is approached by coupled 2-D forward modeling orogenic wedge formation, lithospheric isostasy, stream power erosion/transport/sedimentation. Thrust geometries sequence emplacement derived from geometric kinematic models presented here are inputs to our evolutionary model, constrained basin geometry, sediment volume, topography. Modeling results confirm that consistent with two stages deformation: (1) obduction stage...
We present the first regional balanced and restored sections across northwestern part of Zagros Fold-and-Thrust Belt in Kurdistan Region Iraq a 2D kinematic model that illustrates evolution belt since Late Cretaceous time. The cross-section, based on surface sub-surface data, is characterized by multi-detachment folds detached above Lower Triassic basal ductile level, with intermediate detachment levels induced internal complexities like accommodation thrusting and/or disharmonic folding....
The Zagros foldbelt – foreland system in SW Iran is a prolific hydrocarbon province with known reserves of more than 90 billion brl oil and 800 TCF natural gas. Establishing the structural style folding area presents major challenge due both to geographical extent foldbelt, which some 1600 km long total, presence marked lateral variations fold related complex regional tectonic history. In addition, while numerous high‐quality studies have been completed over last 20 years, they support...
