Structure of Zagros Simply Folded Zone
2010
Despite the well exposed anticlines in the Zagros Fold Belt in Dohuk region in the Iraqi Kurdistan, very little is known about their geometry and structure at depth. Using both field data and subsurface data we constructed the first balanced cross-section across this region. The N-S trending section shows the Shiranish monocline and Tawke and Dohuk anticlines ending in the Slevani Plain to the south. The present geometry of the three folds is formed by a combination of thick and thin-skinned tectonics, multiple detachments and inversion tectonics.
