        1 - Sea-level change and deep sea sequence stratigraphy: A Middle Jurassic siliciclastic strata (Kashafrud Formation), NE Iran
        Mehdi Reza Poursoltani
        The Upper Bajocian- Lower Bathonian succession in the Kopet-Dagh Basin of NE Iran represents fluvio-deltaic to turbidite deposits. The Kashafrud Formation provides an excellent opportunity to study the interplay between deep-water sedimentation and syndepositional tecto چکیده کامل
        The Upper Bajocian- Lower Bathonian succession in the Kopet-Dagh Basin of NE Iran represents fluvio-deltaic to turbidite deposits. The Kashafrud Formation provides an excellent opportunity to study the interplay between deep-water sedimentation and syndepositional tectonic subsidence (or uplift) in the region. The effects of these processes caused sea-level changes, variation in depositional sequences, and formation of different types of sequence boundaries. The Kashafrud Formation is recognized as a super-sequence and is overlain and underlain by type 1 sequence boundaries. Based on sedimentological analysis, twelve lithofacies and three facies associations have been identified in the Kashafrud Formation. The succession is represented by parasequences formed as part of a second order super-sequence, and a fourth order regression. The thickness variations indicate a strong influence of basin-floor topography on the location of depositional successions. High rates of sea-level fall led to the development of a limited number of major incised channels; in contrast the major thick-bedded mudstone indicates high rates of sea-level rise for prolonged periods. The interpreted sea-level curve during deposition of the Kashafrud Formation can be correlated with the world sea-level curve for the Middle Jurassic, with differences mainly related to local structural events in the basin. Tectonism, compaction and rate of deposition were the main factors that controlled the vertical facies transitions in these parasequences. پرونده مقاله

        2 - Calcareous nannofossils from chalky limestone intervals of the Abderaz formation in the Kopet Dagh range, NE Iran
        Somayeh Sanjary Fatemeh Hadavi Marziyeh Notghi Moghaddam Mohsen Allameh
        A biostratigraphic study based on calcareous nannofossils was performed on the chalky limestone from the Abderaz Formation in the Mozduran section (Kopet Dagh basin, NE Iran). Semiquantitative estimates of total nannofossil and single species abundances showed that calc چکیده کامل
        A biostratigraphic study based on calcareous nannofossils was performed on the chalky limestone from the Abderaz Formation in the Mozduran section (Kopet Dagh basin, NE Iran). Semiquantitative estimates of total nannofossil and single species abundances showed that calcareous nannofossil assemblages are common and their preservation is good. In this study 37 species have been identified in chalky limestone beds. The following biohorizons were identified: the first occurrence (FO) of Broinsonia parca parca; the last occurrence (LO) of Marthasterites furcatus; the FO of Ceratolithoides aculeus; and the FO of Uniplanarius sissinghii. Based on nannofossil assemblages' four biozones were determined in this section which is the time equivalent of UC14 to UC15cTP of (Burnett 1998), and CC18 to CC21 of (Roth et al. 1986). According to present biozones, early Campanian to early late Campanian ages are suggested. Calcareous nannofossils allow the detailed reconstruction of paleoecological trends in the chalky limestone beds. The chalky limestone of the Abderaz Formation was deposited in a shallow-marine environment, at relatively low latitude with low primary productivity. پرونده مقاله

        3 - نقش گسل چاهشک بر کیفیت چاه های آب شرب شمال غرب دشت مشهد
        عباس کنگی محمد رضا ارجمند
        دشت مشهد در یک موقعیت ساختاری ویژه و تحت تاثیر عملکرد مجموعه ای از گسل های فعال حاشیه شمالی رشته کوه بینالود، حاشیه جنوبی رشته کوه کپه داغ و پهنه بخاردن قوچان در غرب قرار گرفته است. فعالیت این گسل ها مورفولوژی پله کانی سنگ کف دشت را شکل داده اند. همچنین عملکرد گسلهای فع چکیده کامل
        دشت مشهد در یک موقعیت ساختاری ویژه و تحت تاثیر عملکرد مجموعه ای از گسل های فعال حاشیه شمالی رشته کوه بینالود، حاشیه جنوبی رشته کوه کپه داغ و پهنه بخاردن قوچان در غرب قرار گرفته است. فعالیت این گسل ها مورفولوژی پله کانی سنگ کف دشت را شکل داده اند. همچنین عملکرد گسلهای فعال در دوره کواترنری ضخامت و گسترش رسوبات آبرفتی دارای پتانسیل بالای آبدهی را تحت تاثیر قرار داده است. گسل چاهشک به عنوان یکی از شاخه های فرعی پهنه گسل شاندیز در بخش مرکزی دشت مشهد، نقش مهمی در کنترل رفتار هیدرولیکی منابع آب زیرزمینی این دشت ایفا می کند. این گسل بر اساس تلفیق پروفیل های ژئوالکتریک و نتایج حفاریهای دستگاهی برای نخستین بار در این پژوهش شناسایی شده است. چاه های حفاری شده در شمال گسل چاهشک با آبدهی خوب غالبا در عمق بیش از 250 متر به سنگ کف رسی و کنگلومرای نئوژن برخورد نموده اند. اما چاه های حفاری شده در جنوب گسل با آبدهی بسیار کم و یا فاقد آبدهی عموما در عمق 100 تا 140 متری به سنگ کف متامورفیک برخورد کرده اند. بالا آمدگی سنگ کف در جنوب گسل چاهشک سبب ایجاد مورفولوژی پله کانی در پی سنگ متاموفیک بخش جنوبی دشت مشهد گردیده است. این بالا آمدگی متامورفیک بصورت یک ساختمان گل مانند مثبت، تحت تاثیر سیستم گسلش امتداد لغز راست گرد، با مکانیسم ترنس تنشن ایجاد شده است. پرونده مقاله

        The Kopet–Dagh sedimentary basin stretches in northeastern Iran as narrow and long ranges and contains sediments of the Jurassic to recent ages. One of the lithostratigraphic units in this basin is the Kalat Formation with an age of the latest Cretaceous. The Formation is made up of sandy limestones and shales. In order to study the palynology, palynofacies and paleoenvironment of these Formations three sections, Chahchahe, Tange–Neyzar and Padly, were sampled palynologically and the samples were prepared and studied. Some of the samples proved to be rich in dinoflagellates and some 40 species belonging to 29 genera were recorded. Palynofacies studies show that the Formation was deposited in a shallow- open marine environment with moderate to high energy conditions. پرونده مقاله
