  abstract = {{T}he aim of this work is to constrain the {L}ate {Q}uaternary activity of two major dextral strike-slip faults of the {Z}agros fold-and-thrust belt of {S}outhern {I}ran, within the framework of right-oblique convergence between {A}rabia and {E}urasia. {T}he {NW}-trending {M}ain {R}ecent fault marks the rear of the belt along two thirds of its length. {I}ts southeastern tip connects to the northern termination of the {N}-trending {K}azerun {F}ault, which affects the entire width of the belt. {H}orizontal slip rates have been estimated on these two faults over the last 140 ka from lateral offsets of streams and fans and in situ cosmogenic {C}l-36 exposure dating of cobbles sampled on the surface of these geomorphic features. {C}ompared to {GPS} data, the obtained minimum slip rate of 3.5-12.5 mm yr(-1) on the {M}ain {R}ecent {F}ault implies strike-slip partitioning of the convergence along this fault. {M}inimum slip rate of the {K}azerun {F}ault is 2.5-4 mm yr(-1) for its northern strand, 1.5-3.5 mm yr(-1) for its central segment and is negligible for its southern segment. {T}hese results are consistent with southward distribution of the slip from along the {M}ain {R}ecent {F}ault to the longitudinal thrusts and folds of the fold-and-thrust belt through the {K}azerun {F}ault, with a decrease of slip from the southeastern tip of the {M}ain {R}ecent {F}ault towards the southern termination of the {K}azerun {F}ault. {T}he {K}azerun and associated faults form the horsetail termination of the {M}ain {R}ecent fault and may be seen as the propagating southeastern front of the fault system that accommodates indentation of {E}urasia by {A}rabia.},
