Abstract:
The Bandobast anticline is located in 180 km southeastern of Shiraz and in Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt. The study of fault lineament on satellite images and together with data collected from field shows strike slip mechanism that made right lateral transpression fault zone. The effect of this fault causes rotation trace of Bandobast anticline to curved right lateral and pushed up the oldest outcrop in the north limb of the anticline. Based on the structural interpretation of this fault zone, is introduced as a continuation of Sabzpushan strike slip fault zone
