Abstract :
The Badamestan Anticline is situated in the Zagros folded belt of Iran. Formations outcropping within the anticline are Gurpi-Pabdeh, Asmari, Gachsaran, Aghajari, and Bakhtiari in ascending order. Study of joint patterns in the Asmari limestone suggests that joint formation is synchronous with folding, and the stress field is symmetrically oriented with respect to the fold axis. Gomieh anticline shows gravitational slip of the Bakhtiari conglomerate on the lower ductile layers. The joints within this formation indicate another younger stress field.
