Abstract

New outcrop and subsurface data from SW Iran have permitted a review of the stratigraphy of the area to the SW of the Zagros Crush Zone and a comparison with neighbouring areas. The Triassic sequence consists mainly of an evaporite and dolomite sequence in the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf which is the extension of the evaporite basin of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Towards the high Zagros in the northeast, the evaporites are replaced by dolomites. Two unconformities are found at the base and top of the Triassic.
