By Marie-Françoise Brunet

This ebook combines interdisciplinary examine effects utilizing structural geology, geophysics, sedimentology, stratigraphy, palaeontology, palaeomagnetism and subsidence modelling bought throughout the MEBE (Middle East Basins Evolution) Programme and different teams within the South Caspian and northerly and vital Iran. an excellent a part of the quantity is dedicated to Northern Iran (Alborz, Binalud and Koppeh Dagh belts), dealing usually with the overdue Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic Eras. papers current subsidence types of the South Caspian Basin because the Jurassic and 3 papers specialise in important Iran. the knowledge and versions during this compilation of papers current a close photo and a truly entire realizing of the past due Palaeozoic to Cenozoic evolution of the South Caspian and North Iran to primary Iran basins. Geodynamic evolution and sedimentation are commonly managed via the closure of the Palaeo-Tethys as a result of collision of Eocimmerian blocks with south Laurasia, establishing of the South Caspian Basin, and Neo-Tethys ocean closure linked to Arabia-Eurasia collision.Also available:The way forward for Geological Modelling in Hydrocarbon improvement - ISBN 978-1-86239-266-3The Nature and starting place of Compression in Passive Margins - ISBN 978-1-86239-261-8Structurally complicated Reservoirs - ISBN 978-1-86239-241-0The Geological Society of LondonFounded in 1807, the Geological Society of London is the oldest geological society on this planet, and one of many greatest publishers within the Earth sciences.The Society publishes a variety of top quality peer-reviewed titles for lecturers and pros operating within the geosciences, and enjoys an enviable foreign recognition for the standard of its work.The many parts within which we put up in include:-Petroleum geology-Tectonics, structural geology and geodynamics-Stratigraphy, sedimentology and paleontology-Volcanology, magmatic reports and geochemistry-Remote sensing-History of geology-Regional geology publications

Stanford Geological Atlas Of Great Britain And Ireland -1907

Excerpt from Stanford's Geological Atlas of serious Britain and eire: With Plates of attribute FossilsThe scope of this paintings has been enlarged by way of the addition of a caricature of the geological good points of eire, its counties and major traces of railway; and the topic is illustrated via a geological map of the rustic, and by way of 3 illustrations borrowed from Professor E.

Applied Coastal Geomorphology

This quantity is a set of papers, preceded through an introductory essay, on coastal physiography. the entire authors have made major contributions to the topic. they're of alternative nationalities and the papers are, intentionally, now not all contemporary ones. during this ebook emphasis has been laid totally on concerns that are of normal instead of neighborhood or perhaps nearby price.

Example text

The S1 foliation is generally subhorizontal, showing open ENE–WSW-trending D2 folds with a kilometric wavelength. Structural analyses performed along the Radekhan Fault (Fig. 3b) indicate a strong deformation of the Gorgan Schists in the hanging wall accompanied by S–C shear structures. Tight– isoclinal folds occur in the lower part of the Carboniferous Mobarak Formation along the footwall of the fault (Figs 3 and 4). Available K –Ar whole-rock radiometric data of samples from the Gorgan Schists (Delaloye et al.

The Eo-Cimmerian structures in the Alborz The Gorgan region Fieldwork was carried out around the town of Gorgan and along the Neka Valley, where the Palaeo-Mesozoic successions of the Alborz are well exposed (Figs 3 and 4). Upper Triassic–Cretaceous sedimentary succession unconformably covering the two previous units (Fig. 5). The Gorgan Schists. The Gorgan Schists form the high topographic reliefs that border the SE Caspian coast from the town of Neka to Aliabad. The active Gorgan (Khazar) thrust fault, which dips southward, bounds the Gorgan Schist to the north.

9A, error bars). In the Carboniferous, Gondwana and Laurasia coalesced to form Pangaea. The Early Permian and Late Permian– Early Triassic Pangaea reconstructions of Figure 9B, D, virtually identical to those of Muttoni et al. (2003), bracket a Middle Permian reconstruction (Fig. 9C) obtained by linear interpolation of Early Permian and Late Permian– Early Triassic poles of Table 3. At these times, palaeomagnetic data reveal a grand-scale tectonic scenario consisting of a transformation of Pangaea from an Irvingian B configuration (Irving 1977) in the Early Permian to a Wegenerian A-type configuration by the Late Permian–Early Triassic, as extensively discussed in Muttoni et al.
