ICANA A C i e n A ñ o s Late Triassic and Early Cretaceous sedimentary sequences of the northern Isfahan Province (Central Iran): stratigraphy and paleoenvironments Maryam Mannani1,*, Mehdi Yazdi1 1 Department of Geology, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran. * [email protected] Abstract This research gives a general outline of the Upper Triassic and Lower Cretaceous sequences cropping out north of Isfahan, Central Iran. Upper Triassic Nayband Formation subdivided into the Gelkan, Bidestan, Howz-e-Sheikh, Howz-e Khan and Qadir members. Two biostromal levels are documented in the Bidestan and Howz-e-Khan members. Due to a suitable condition in Late Triassic time including light, oxygen and nutrient, fauna such as: corals, sponges, hydrozoas, bivalves, gastropods, brachiopods, echinoderms and Dicroidium were flourished in water and flora on land. The first appearance of Heterastridium spp. in level of the Bidestan Member is apparently the first occurrence of this taxon in Central Iran. Qadir Member has several key beds, one key bed with land flora Cla- thropteris spp., and three key beds with bivalve Indopecten glabra, dating as Rhaetian Stage. An angular unconformity can be traced between Rhaetian sediments and red conglomerates and sandstones of Lower Cretaceous Sequences in Isfahan area which encompasses all Jurassic rocks. This gap can be related to Cimmerian tectonic phase.

Balasubramanian University of Mysore 19-11-2011 Introduction Earth’s environmental segments include Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Lithosphere is the basic solid sphere of the planet earth. It is the sphere of hard rock masses. The land we live in is on this lithosphere only. All other spheres are attached to this lithosphere due to earth’s gravity. Lithosphere is a massive and hard solid substratum holding the semisolid, liquid, biotic and gaseous molecules and masses surrounding it. All geomorphic processes happen on this sphere. It is the sphere where all natural resources are existing. It links the cyclic processes of atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Lithosphere also acts as the basic route for all biogeochemical activities. For all geographic studies, a basic understanding of the lithosphere is needed. In this lesson, the following aspects are included: 1. The Earth’s Interior. 2.

  • Tectonostratigraphic Overview of the Zagros Suture Zone, Kurdistan Region, Northeast Iraq
    GeoArabia, 2012, v. 17, no. 4, p. 109-156 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Tectonostratigraphic overview of the Zagros Suture Zone, Kurdistan Region, Northeast Iraq Basim Al-Qayim, Azad Omer and Hemin Koyi ABSTRACT The northwestern segment of the Zagros Orogenic Belt of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq includes the Zagros Suture Zone which is consisting of allochthonous Tethyan Triassic–Eocene thrust sheets. The zone is bounded by the Zagros Main Reverse Fault in the northeast, and the Zagros Thrust Front in the southwest. Parts of this zone’s rocks are represented by stacks of thrust mega- sheets obducted over the autochthonous Cretaceous–Cenozoic sequence of the Arabian Plate margin. Each sheet represents a specific Tethyan tectono- stratigraphic facies, and includes (from older to younger): isolated Triassic carbonate platforms (Avroman Limestone), Jurassic carbonate imbricates (Chia Gara, Sargelu and other formations), radiolarites (Qulqula Group), sedimentary mélange (sedimentary-volcanic units of the Qulqula Group), ophiolites (Mawat and Penjwin ultramafics complexes), and Cenozoic fore-arc volcano- sedimentary sequences (Walash Group). Petrography, facies interpretation and lithostratigraphic correlation of these allochthons along four traverses across the Zagros Suture Zone of the examined area indicate that they evolved during the closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean. Their stacking pattern and tectonic association resulted from two important events: the Late Cretaceous obduction processes, and the Late Miocene–Pliocene collision, uplift, folding and suturing between the Arabian Plate and the Sanandaj-Sirjan Block of Iran. Based on these field observations and by using the model of the Iranian Zagros evolution, a tectonic scenario is proposed to explain the history and evolution of the Zagros Suture Zone in this area.

  • Microfacies and Sedimentary Environments of Gurpi and Pabdeh Formations in Southwest of Iran
    American Journal of Applied Sciences 6 (7): 1295-1300, 2009 ISSN 1546-9239 © 2009 Science Publications Microfacies and Sedimentary Environments of Gurpi and Pabdeh Formations in Southwest of Iran Mohammad Bahrami Department of Geology, University of Payam-e-Noor, Shiraz, Iran Abstract: Problem statement: The Upper Cretaceous Gurpi and lower Tertiary Pabdeh formations as units of folded Zagros Zone were studied in three different regions (Tang-e-Abolhiat, Tang-e-Zanjiran and Maharloo) in Fars Province, Iran. Approach: Gurpi formation consisted of thin to medium sized layers of gray marl and marlstone interbedded with thin layers of argillaceous limestone and shale. The dominant microfacies in this formation biomicrite; Index species of Globotruncana give the age of the Formation from lower companion to upper Maastrichtian. Pabdeh formation consisted of bluish gray, thin to medium sized layers of shale and marl and interlayers of argillaceous limestones with purple shales and thin cherty beds at lower part, dark gray shales and marls with interlayers of argillaceous limestones in the middle andalternative layers of thinly bedded argillaceous limestone, shale and marl at the upper part. The dominant microfacies are biomicrite. Index species of Globorotalia and Hantkenina give the age of formation from upper Paleocene to Eocene. Results: The sedimentary environment of both formations is a bathymetrical carbonate floored basin (deep shelf or basin margin) which had deposited its facies in transgressive stage. The contact between the two formations is of disconformity type. In Tang-e-Abolhiat it lies at the base of purple shale. In this region and also in Tang-e-Zanjiran and Maharloo, in addition to recognition of Globorotalia velascoensis , which was attributed to lower part of the Pabdeh formation, a glauconitic- phosphatic bed separates the two formations.

School of EAE, Monash University, Melbourne, Vic, Australia Introduction During late 2015 new discoveries of Neoproterozoic metazoans were made in the Bafq Region of Central Iran by a joint Iranian-Australian expedition, hosted by the Iranian Geological Survey and the International Geological Program Project IGCP587. Previous to the newly discovered material supposed Vendian/Ediacaran metazoans including Permoria, Beltanella, and forms similar to Dickinsonia, Spriggina and Medusites (Stocklin, 1968), a supposed medusiod - Persimedusites chahgazensis (Hahn & Pflug 1980) along with Charnia (Glaessner, 1984) had been reported, but not well documented (Fedonkin et al., 2007). The new material both questions the identity of the previously described material and adds new taxa to the list of late Precambrian metazoans previously reported, increasing the biodiversity for this region. Pervious discoveries of Precambrian metazoans in Iran The first report of possible Neoproterozoic (Infracambrian) metazoan fossils from Iran was Stocklin (1968, 1972).

[email protected] ABSTRACT – In the East-Central Iran, the Sardar Formation (upper Visean–Moscovian) consists of shallow-water limestone with intercalations of shale containing rugose corals, tabulate corals and brachiopods. Ten sections were sampled in the Ozbak-kuh Mountains, from north to south. Among the rugose corals, an assemblage of fasciculate Kleopatrinidae has been collected. The latter contains the species: Paraheritschioides antoni antoni, P. antoni minor, P. gracilis and two new species for the genera Fomichevella and Heintzella. Heintzella is described from Iran for the first time. However, its age, as determined by conodonts and foraminifers, is early to middle Bashkirian (early late Carboniferous). The most similar, time-equivalent faunal associations are that of the Ellesmere Island, Sverdrup Basin in Arctic Canada, Alexander terrane and Brooks Range in southeastern Alaska and eastern Klamath terrane in northern California, where similar tropical warm water conditions have been identified during the Bashkirian in the northern hemisphere.
