Abstract

The Khaneh Kat mountain is located in southeast of Kharameh ( East of Shiraz ). Field observations and petrographic studies indicate that the Dariyan Formation is deposited in 8 carbonate microfacies and 3 facies belts: open marine (­O­), barrier (­B­) and lagoon (­L­). Facies analysis in the study area and comparison with modern and ancient environments indicate that the Dariyan Formation facies have been deposited in a ramp type of carbonate platform.
