  1. Geology Of Kurdistan, Iraq Saad Z Jassim Heritage Oil

  2. Northerly Movement of the Arabian Plate Arabian Plate 20Ma-Present Volcanics Northerly movement of the Arabian Plate resulted in collision with the Anatolian Plates first producing the E-W trending anticlines followed by the stress introduced against the Iranian Plates in NE-SW direction resulting in NW trending anticlines of NE Iraq; some are overprinted over the Anatolian trend in N Iraq
