This study investigates the distinctive characteristics of karst-type bauxite deposits associated with the Cenomanian-Turonian unconformity at the Faraghan anticline located in the hanging-wall of the High Zagros Fault in the eastern Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt (ZFTB) in the Bandar Abbas region. The bauxite deposits at the Faraghan anticline display patchy, circular and areole-like geometry, with a centrifugal zonation, extending outward from red bauxite at the center through yellow bauxite and ferruginous dolostone to rudist-dominated limestones with ferruginous cement at the periphery. To address this objective, field observations, petrographic analyses, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and Rare Earth Element (REE) geochemical analyses were carried out on the uppermost part of the Cenomanian–Turonian Sarvak Formation at the Faraghan anticline. Mineralogical and geochemical analyses indicate that boehmite, hematite, diaspore, dolomite, and calcite are the principal mineral phases, whereas Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, MgO, CaO, SiO₂ and TiO₂ represent the dominant major oxides. According to the geochemical analysis, the highly reactive and mobile alkali (Na, K) and alkaline earth (Ca, Mg, Sr) trace elements were largely leached, whereas most of the less mobile elements such as Al, Fe, Ti, and Zn are strongly enriched in the bauxitized zone. Pronounced enrichments in sulfur-associated elements (As, Sb, and Mo) and in base metals (Pb, Zn, and Ni) within the bauxitic samples suggest that the REE elements may have also originated from other additional sources such as active halokinetic system and obducted ophiolites in a highly tectonized area.
