What is it about?

Why is it important?
An understanding of the controlling factors in lithofacies and facies distribution together with carbonate platform geometry will make a useful contribution to further investigation regarding local tectonic, relative sea-level changes, climate, and carbonate secreting organisms in the poorly understood area (northern central Alborz Mountain Range).
Perspectives
It explains a short period which have recorded evidence of tectonic quiescence and establishment of carbonate factory after major extensional movements related to South Caspian Basin.
