Figure 20: Paleofacies of the Miocene spanning deposition of the Hadrukh, Dam, Hofuf, Fars, Agha Jari, and Gachsaran formations, and their regional equivalents, together with massive salt deposits [MFS Ng10 to post-Ng40]. The sediments were deposited within the Zagros foredeep and foreland. Strong compression occurred as Arabia separated from Africa and was driven into Eurasia.
