“…Late Cretaceous Neo-Tethys obduction partly camouflaged the original Arabian paleomargin, so the present-day geometry reflects only partially the original syn-rift segmented geometry. Several authors have speculated on the geometry and position of this margin based upon geophysical data (Bushara, 1995;Khattab, 1995;Ravaut, Carbon, Ritz, Bayer, & Philip, 1998). Offshore seismic reflection data and gravity profiles show a change corresponding to the approximate position of the sea floor slope-break between 57 and 588E (Ravaut, Bayer, Hassani, Rousset, & Al Yahya'ey, 1997;Ravaut et al, 1998) (Fig.…”

“…This transition marks the boundary between a region of high seismicity located in the north-west (the Zagros domain) and a region of low-seismicity to the east and is highlighted by the Musandam Peninsula trend. Formerly the Oman line was suggested to represent the transition between Zagros and Makran (Kadinsky-Cade and Barazangi, 1982), but it is now thought that this role is played by the Minab-Zendan Fault system, whose southern prolongation has been seen on seismic profiles from the Oman Gulf (Ravaut et al, 1998).…”

SE Iran is the site of a rare case of young transition between subduction and collision. We have synthesized recent results in geodesy, tectonics, seismology and magnetism to help understand the structure and kinematics of the Zagros–Makran transition. Surface observations (tectonics, magnetism and geodesy) indicate a transpressive discontinuity consisting of several faults striking obliquely to the convergent plate motion, whereas deeper observations (seismology) support a smooth transition across the fault system. No lithospheric transform fault has been created, although the transition already behaves like a major boundary in terms of tectonic style, seismic structure, lithology and magnetism. The Zendan–Minab–Palami fault system consists of several faults that accommodate a transpressive tectonic regime. It is the surface expression of a southward propagation of the north–south-trending right-lateral strike-slip fault system of Jiroft–Sabzevaran. Within each system the numerous faults will coalesce into a single, lithospheric, wrench fault.
