Surface faults 11 km (west-dipping) and 8 km (east-dipping) long with oblique reverse mechanisms developed on both sides of a small Holocene playa. Apparently, repeated coseismic fault-related folding was responsible for the Holocene 20° tilting of the playa deposits above the active fault tip at the ground surface. This study provided the first evidence of earthquake folding of Holocene playa deposits in Iran. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
