... brings the Ara and the Hormuz evaporites close to the evaporites of NW India and Pakistan, but leaves a small gap between them, which was probably occupied by a continental sliver, mostly likely part of the Lut block of central Iran. The Ara-Hormuz basins lie on the edge of a major continental collision...

Compressional relays between ridges allow for a folded connection between both sides. The Zagros Mountains in southern Iran offer a large variety of comparable structures, associated with the Hormuz...
