Abstract:In the Middle East, significant evaporite units formed in the latest Precambrian-Cambrian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Cenozoic. The Precambrian-Cambrian period gave rise to the Ara Salt carbonate stringer plays, southern Oman and the giant Zagros anticline traps (Hormuz Formation). While outcrops of salt diapirs are common, basal detachment exposures are extremely rare. The Lakar Kuh area of Central Iran reveals the Precambrian-Cambrian basal salt detachment, on satellite images, in natural cross-sect… Show more
