Provenance analysis on on fine-grained sandstones from West Kopet Dagh, NE Iran
The provenance of Meso- and Cenozoic sediments in the West Kopet Dagh basin is determined by identifying heavy minerals, sandstone framework composition and detrital zircon ages. Provenance of the Kopet Dagh basin infill allows for reconstructing the regional tectonic setting since 100 Ma ago.
This Master thesis includes a lot of laboratory work: Crushing rocks, separating heavy minerals, defining minerals in thin-sections
