Abstract :
Pestehligh Formation is composed of siliciclastic rocks (conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone with minor evaporate) which extend? from east to west of the Kopet–Dagh basin. In this study the pestehligh formation studied in Jawzak and Garmab sections North Khorasan province. The aim of this paper is to recognize the lithic facies and their relation between tectonic and sedimentation during Paleocene. Lithic facies at Jawzak section consistent of massive conglomerate (Gm) and normal graded conglomerate (Gmg), whereas toward the north in the study area lithofacies gradually change. present Gm and Gmg facies, Gp facies and sandy lithic facies of Sp (rarely) and Sh. In Garmab section, the upper 60 meter of section is completely replaced by sandy lithofacies of Sh, Sp, Sf. Based on field and laboratory study, the pestehligh formation sediments have been deposited in alluvial fan and fluvial (young meander) environments with active tectonic during Paleocene time.
