Abstract

The Aghajari Formation, known also as Upper Fars, extends throughout the Folded Zagros and its thickness in the type section is about 2966 m. To determine the SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENT of this formation according to the lithofacies and architectural elements, a section, with a thickness of 2266 m, was measured in SW of Sarvestan in Fars Province. In this section, 17 lithofacies and 6 architectural elements were identified. The lithofacies were divided into two groups: a major group and a minor group. The major group consists of coarse-grained (Gh, Gp, Gt, Gcm, Gmg), medium-grained (Sh, Sp, St, Sl, Sm, Sr, Ss) and fine-grained (Fm, Fl, Fsm) lithofacies and the minor group consists of evaporate and mixed carbonate-terrigenous lithofacies. The identified architectural elements are CH, GB, SB, LA, SG and FF. According to the evidences due to lithofacies analyses and architectural elements and their incorporation, The Aghajari Formation in the studied section was divided into three parts. The SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENTs of the above-mentioned deposits, from top to the bottom, are gravelly MEANDERING RIVER, sandy-gravelly MEANDERING RIVER and ephemeral sandy MEANDERING RIVER. The most important sedimentary structures are horizontal bedding, CROSS BEDDING, load-cast, imbrications, graded bedding, turbulence traces, scour and fill and BALL AND PILLOW STRUCTURES. Using some of these structures, the palaeo current direction in the studied area is measured as NW-SE during sedimentation. These data can be used in the interpretation of the basin and reconstruction of the palaeo geography in the local and regional scale.
