Abstract:Conglomerates, the lithified equivalent of gravels alternate with sandstones and mudstones in the upper parts of the Aghajari Formation in the Zagros Basin, southwestern Iran. The thickness of the Aghajari Formation in this studied area is 2221 meters. Polymictic conglomerates form excellent outcrops in the central parts of the study area. From the view of its (coarse) clast composition, the Aghajari Formation consists of two types of conglomerates: 1) limestone-chert clast-supported conglomerate (LCCSC) and 2… Show more
