Abstract
The Cenozoic strata of the Mesopotamian Basin contain important reservoirs and seals, and they recorded the basin-filling history of the Zagros Foreland Basin. The Neogene clastic interval has been considered as foredeep and wedge-top deposits. The tectono-stratigraphic setting of the Paleogene interval has received less attention. We have revised the Paleocene-Early Miocene stratigraphy in the central Mesopotamian Basin to provide constraints on the early evolution of the Zagros Foreland Basin.
