Evolution of NW Zagros fold-thrust belt involved enhanced exhumation during the growth of Mountain Front Flexure Mechanical stratigraphy, inherited structures, and syntectonic sedimentation were key controls on shortening kinematics Zagros fold-thrust belt shortening pattern was largely governed by maintenance of critical taper in the orogenic wedge
