Quaternary coral-reef terraces from Kish and Qeshm Islands, Persian Gulf: new radiometric ages and tectonic implications
PA Pirazzoli, JL Reyss, M Fontugne, A Haghipour… - Quaternary …, 2004 - Elsevier
A survey of raised coral reef terraces in locations along the southern coast of Iran was
carried out with the aim of assessing regional Late Quaternary tectonic uplift rates influenced
by salt doming. Two islands were studied: Kish, where no previous data were available, and
Qeshm, where a previous survey had already attributed the lowest step in two sequences of
raised marine terraces to the Last Interglacial. Twenty-five ESR and seven Th/U ages were
obtained from Kish Island. The results show that this flat, about 32m high, gently domed …
