The Tanbour Metamorphic Complex (TMC) is located within the Sanandaj-Sirjan Metamorphic Belt, SW Iran, along the northeastern margin of the Afro-Arabian plate. Detailed kinematic and strain analyses were combined with vorticity estimates on rocks from the TMC to document patterns and geometry of deformation. The strain parameter measurements including strain ratio in the XZ principal plane of strain ellipsoid (R_XZ), strain ellipsoid shape (K) and strain intensity (D), highlight the deformed gneissic rocks in the TMC exhibit constrictional to approximately plane-strain shape of the strain ellipsoids. Several kinematic shear sense indicators including S/C fabrics, mantled porphyroclasts, oblique grain shape, micro-shears with bookshelf geometry and mineral fish show top-to-the-SE sense of shear. The quantitative kinematic analyses highlight that W_k varies between 0.64 and 0.78, implying a general shear flow with 44% < simple shear <58% and 42% < pure shear <57%. The exhumation of TMC is attributed to the exhumation-controlled transpressive tectonic process during oblique convergence between the Afro-Arabian continent and the Central-Iranian microcontinent which started since Upper Cretaceous.

Tanbour变质综合体（TMC）位于伊朗西南部的Sanandaj-Sirjan变质带内，沿非洲-阿拉伯板块的东北边缘。将详细的运动学和应变分析与来自TMC的岩石的涡度估算相结合，以记录变形的模式和几何形状。应变参数测量包括应变椭球（R _XZ），应变椭球体形状（K）和应变强度（D）突出显示TMC中变形的片麻岩岩石呈现出收缩到近似平面应变形状的应变椭球体。几种运动学的剪切感测指标包括S / C织物，有褶皱的卟啉，倾斜的粒状形状，具有书架几何形状的微剪切和矿物鱼，显示了从上到下的剪切感。定量运动学分析表明，W _k在0.64至0.78之间变化，这意味着一般剪切流量为44％<简单剪切<58％和42％<纯剪切<57％。TMC的发掘归因于自上白垩纪开始的非洲阿拉伯大陆与中伊朗微大陆之间的倾斜汇合期间，由发掘控制的超压构造过程。
