Köppen climate type:
Rock units exposed in this area belong to the Upper Red Formation, and consist of alternations of red and green marl intercalated with red to grey, medium- to thick-bedded sandstone. In this area, URF has 980 m thickness and consists of four main parts. These parts, from bottom to top, consist of 1- alternation of gypsiferous green marls along with gypsum and salt layers (235 m), 2- red marls intercalated with grey and red sandstones (445 m), 3- alternation of red and green marls intercalated with sandstones (145 m), and 4- alternation of green marls and green siltstones (155 m). The Pb–Zn and Cu mineralization in the Chehrabad deposit has occurred in grey sandstone units of the second part of the URF. Mineralization has often been formed around and within the fragments of the plant fossils, in the form of disseminated and the solution seems to have been sulfides.
