Abstract :
Kareh Bas fault system with a total length of more than 200 km is a nearly N-S trending transverse fault system in Zagros fold and thrust belt. This system is situated about 40 km in the west of Shiraz.
Having a right-lateral strike slip fault system and based on its geometry, it consists of six structural segments. In this paper for the first time, the type and attitude of Mountain Front Fault (MFF) have been determined by data integration and Kareh Bas fault system, that caused approximately 109 km strike separation of MFF, has also been introduced as a transcurrent fault system. In addition, the role of this fault system in the basin partitioning, thickness and facies controlling of sediments since Middle Cretaceous is discussed. Finally, fractal dimensions have been analyzed on spot space image maps.
