Abstract
In this paper, we present a 253â¯km long cross-section across the Fars province on the basis of detailed geological maps (1:100.000 scale), field and subsurface data. Our purposes are to: 1) investigate the link between shortening inferred from our original cross-section (from a maximum of 9,1% to a minimum of 4,4%. for different sectors of the belt) and rift-related and flexure-related extensional faults, which in turn, control thickness and lateral facies variations; 2) describe the geometries of folds and thrusts and their relationship with pre-thrusting normal faults, that were inverted during shortening as transpressional or strike slip faults. Moreover, we present for the first time new field data showing evidences of syn-collisional normal faults likely related to the bending of the Arabian plate in the Fars area.
