Inversion Structures

Lurestan Region, Zagros

​

​

Roadside exposure of deep water Early Jurassic radiolarites in the Lurestan region of the Zagros Fold Belt. The exposure is characterized by abundant extensional faults, many of which record syn-depositional offset. Neogene shortening has caused the development of kink folds, buttress structures, and partial reactivation of extensional faults.
