The Kahak section of the Qom Formation in the Uiumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc has been studied, in order to determinate its microfacies, depositional model and sequence stratigraphy. The textural analysis and faunal assemblages reveal ten microfacies. These microfacies are indicative of five depositional settings of open marine, patch reef, lagoon, tidal flat and beach of the inner and middle ramp. On the basis of the vertical succession architecture of depositional system tracts, four third-order sequences have been recognized in the Oligocene-Miocene Kahak succession of Qom Formation. Based on the correlation charts, the transgression of the Qom Sea started fiom the southeast and continued gradually towards the north. This resulted in widespread northward development of the lagoon paleoenvironment in the Aquitanian-Burdigalian stages. Also, the sequence stratigraphic model of the Oligocene Miocene Qom Formation has an architecture similar to those that have developed from Oligocene Miocene global sea level changes.展开更多
