Building the Zagros collisional orogen: timing, strain distribution and the dynamics of Arabia/Eurasia plate convergence
The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

A review of deformation pattern templates in foreland basin systems and fold-and-thrust belts: Implications for the state of stress in the frontal regions of thrust wedges
Aesthetically appealing thrust systems and related large-scale anticlines, in both active and
fossil foreland fold-and-thrust belts, and the economic potential associated with them, have …

Evolution of the Zagros sector of Neo-Tethys: Tectonic and magmatic events that shaped its rifting, seafloor spreading and subduction history
The evolution of the Neo-Tethys realm had a significant impact on the Phanerozoic
paleogeography of the Iran Plateau. However, there remains significant debate regarding …

Salt tectonics along the High Zagros Fault in Iran, faulting through welded salt walls
In salt-bearing foreland fold-thrust belts, precursor salt structures affect deformation and
accommodate fault zones during orogenic shortening. The complex structure and the …

[HTML][HTML] Do fault slip data inversions actually yield “paleostresses” that can be compared with contemporary stresses? A critical discussion
O Lacombe - Comptes Rendus Geoscience, 2012 - Elsevier
Based on a review of published literature and on the report of a few case studies, this paper
summarizes the state of the art on paleostress determinations by fault slip data inversions …
