Petrographic studies led to the recognition of 10 microfacies that were deposited in four facies belts: tidal flat, lagoon, shoal and open marine. The observed facies patterns indicated a carbonate rimmed-shelf depositional environment. Recognition of different type of cements shows that the Fahliyan Formation has mostly undergone meteroric diagenesis. Major and minor elements and carbon and oxygen isotope values indicate that aragonite was the original carbonate mineralogy in the Fahliyan Formation, and suggests that alteration occurred in a closed diagenetic system, with low water/rock interaction.
