The Oligo-Miocene Asmari Formation in SW Iran represents sedimentation on a carbonate platform. Thin-section analysis allowed distinguishing 26 microfacies, which can be grouped into twelve microfacies associations that represent four main depositional environments: open-marine, outer-ramp, middle-ramp and inner-ramp settings. The carbonates have undergone a complex diagenetic history, from penecontemporaneous shallow-marine consolidation to deep-burial diagenesis. The most important processes that affected the carbonates are dolomitization (in different stages), cementation (by anhydrite and calcite), dissolution (fabric-selective and fabric-destructive), fracturing, stylolitization and neomorphism. Minor diagenetic processes that modified the sediments are pyritization, silicification, glauconitization, micritization and bioturbation. Diagenetic processes such as dolomitization, dissolution and fracturing improved the reservoir quality, whereas cementation and compaction have reduced the reservoir quality of the Asmari Formation. Whole-rock oxygen and carbon isotope analyses of limestone samples show that the isotopic composition of the carbonates was hardly affected by diagenesis and that the carbonates remained roughly in isotopic equilibrium with the Paleogene seawater. Some samples have, however, been affected significantly by diagenesis during deep burial in a closed to semi-closed diagenetic system.

The Upper Triassic shale of the Qadir Member of the Nayband Formation, East Central Iran has been analysed geochemically to evaluate provenance and palaeogeography. The Qadir Member in the Parvadeh Coal Mine section is 450 metres thick, and includes sandstone, shale, coal, siltstone, and fossiliferous limestone. XRD analysis of shale samples from the Qadir Member largely indicated the presence of illite and chlorite, with small amounts of kaolinite and montmorillonite. On binary and triangular diagrams the data suggests an intermediate igneous source rock for these shales. Plotting the geochemical data on binary diagrams also indicates the tectonic setting of an active continental margin, perhaps reflecting the Early Cimmerian tectonic event with Neothetys subduction under the Iran Plate, and collision of the Iran Plate with Turan during the Late Triassic. The Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) and Plagioclase Index of Alteration (PIA) values for shale from the Qadir Member of Nayband Formation vary from 74.04 to 80.54 (average 78.02) and 84.31 to 91.85 (average 87.81), respectively, indicating moderate to high chemical alteration in the source area and suggesting a semi-humid climate during deposition. The geochemical data and palaeogeographical models indicate that the Qadir Member shale was deposited on an active margin in a shoreline to transitional-marine setting.
