ABSTRACT: The Zagros fold-thrust belt in Iran forms the external part of the Zagros active orogenic wedge. It includes a sequence of heterogeneous latest Neoproterozoic– Phanerozoic sedimentary cover strata, 7 to 12 km thick and composed of alternating incompetent and competent layers, overlying Precambrian crystalline basement with a complex pre-Zagros structural fabric. Balancing structures of the cover statigraphic units in the Zagros fold-thrust belt requires in-sequence and out-ofsequence involvement of the Precambrian basement in the deformation. Six detailed balanced and retrodeformable cross-sections, which are constructed based on geological and geophysical data across various sectors of the belt, show fault-bend and fault-propagation folds interpreted to have formed by slip on their subjacent thrusts. Out-of-sequence, basement-rooted thrusts, as the interpretations in the constructed cross-sections suggest, have breached the cover/basement interface and, using incompetent cover strata for propagation, cut across the cover structures and have created associated new folds superimposed upon the pre-existing structures.......
