Transpression deformation in Eastern Binalud Mountains

Different stages of deformation have been recognized in Eastern Binalud Mountain. They are interpreted to have resulted from continuing collision and transpression deformation between Turan and Central Iran plates. The isotopic ages indicate that the onset of collision initiated in Early Jurassic and the resulted convergence lasted through recent time. Successive deformations in this collisional zone migrated from hinterland to the foreland basin, from northeast to the southwest of Eastern Binalud Mountain.
