Their relative altitude above recent sea level results from a combination of general marine transgression/regression affecting the whole area, and of local uplift related to salt diapirism. Differential uplift rate of the studied diapirs in center-to-rim profiles was calculated from results based on: (i) Radiocarbon ages of skeletal remains of benthic faunas (19 samples), which originally grew mostly close to sea level; (ii) Original altitude of samples, estimated from general sea level oscillation curves for the last 10 kyr, and (iii) recent sample altitude measured in the field. Calculated uplift rates increase from rim to center on both diapirs in the range from: 2 mm ky-1 at the rim to 5-6 mm ky-1 at the interior of Hormoz, and 1–3 mm ky-1 at the rim to 3–5 mm ky-1 at the interior of Namakdan.
