Ma). See Fig. 8 for paleoreconstruction.<br />
1. Mountainous regions, area of erosion and non-marine sedimentation. 2. Oligocene-Miocene marine carbonates: Qom<br />
Formation in Central Iran; and Asmari back-reefal neritic carbonate facies in Zagros. 3. Sandstone, shale, and back-reef<br />
limestone in the Persian Gulf region. 4. Continental littoral sandstone (Ahwaz sandstone delta). 5. Continental red beds<br />
Central Iran; and Razak red silty marls with subordinate silty limestone and sandstone in Zagros. 6. Flysch-molasse sediments.<br />
7. Molasse (Zeivar Formation and Maikop Series composed of conglomerate, clay, and tuffaceous sandstone) in northwestern<br />
Iran, and Vindobonian marls in the Caspian region. 8. Volcanics in Little Caucasus (northwestern Iran); and in Central Iran<br />
(basalt, andesite, dacite, tuffs). 9. Acidic and basic intrusive rocks exposed at surface (Upper Eocene - Oligocene<br />
Zabol-Baluch, central and south Afghanistan; and Miocene in Central Iran and northern Afghanistan). 10. Platform basins in the<br />
Turan plate (northeastern Iran).<br />
