The upper Khami Group comprises a thin deltaic wedge (Gadvan Fm) transgressively overlain by shelfal carbonates (Dariyan Fm). The Dariyan Fm can be divided into lower and upper units separated by a major intra-Aptian fracture-controlled karst. The top of the Daryian Fm is capped by the Arabian plate-wide Aptian-Albian unconformity. The overlying Bangestan Group includes the Kazhdumi, Sarvak, Surgah and Ilam formations. The Kazhdumi Fm represents a mixed carbonate-clastic intrashelf basin succession, and passes laterally (towards the NE) into a low-angle Orbitolina-dominated muddy carbonate ramp/shoal (Mauddud Mbr). The Mauddud Mbr is capped by an angular unconformity and karst of latest Albian-earliest Cenomanian age. The overlying Sarvak Fm comprises both low-angle ramp and steeper dipping (5-108) carbonate shelf/platform systems. Three regionally extensive karst surfaces are developed in the latest Cenomanian-Turonian interval of the Sarvak Fm, and are interpreted to be related to flexure of the Arabian plate margin due to the initiation of intra-oceanic deformation. The Surgah and Ilam Fm represent clastic and muddy carbonate ramp depositional systems respectively. Both The Khami and Bangestan groups have been affected by spectacularly exposed fracture-controlled dolomitization. Dolomite bodies are 100 m to several km in width, have plume-like geometry, with both fracture (fault/joint) and gradational diagenetic contacts with undolomitized country rock. Sheets of dolomite extend away from dolomite bodies along steeply dipping fault/joint zones, and as strata-bound bodies preferentially following specific depositional/diagenetic facies or stratal surfaces. There is a close link between primary depositional architecture/facies and secondary dolomitization. Vertical barriers to dolomitization are low permeability mudstones, below which dolomitizing fluids moved laterally. Where these barriers are cut by faults and fracture corridors, dolomitization can be observed to have advanced upwards, indicating that faults and joints were fluid migration conduits. Comparisons to Jurassic-Cenozoic dolomites elsewhere in Iran, Palaeozoic dolomites of North America and Neogene dolomites of the Gulf of Suez indicate striking textural, paragenetic and outcrop-scale similarities. These data imply a common fracture-controlled dolomitization process is applicable regardless of tectonic setting (compressional, transtensional and extensional). © The Geological Society of London 2010. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1144/SP329.14 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/225035 | DOI: | 10.1144/SP329.14 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1144/SP329.14 issn: 0305-8719 |
