This study investigates the Danian siliciclastic successions in the East Tethys in the Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran, which are composed of conglomerates, sandstones, shales and mudstones. The studied interval includes significant changes in sedimentary environments from alluvial to fluvial systems. The Danian siliciclastic formation is sandwiched between two marine carbonate sequences. The effects of the late Palaeocene sea transgression can be traced back to the precipitation of several types of carbonate cement in the studied siliciclastic formation. Several diagenetic features have been identified in the studied successions. The most observed features comprise physical and chemical compaction, cementation, alteration, dissolution, fractures and fillings. Some of the mentioned diagenetic processes, such as cementation, may be seen in a range of diagenetic environments and phases, such as early meteoric, low depth and deep burial, and late meteoric after the tectonic uplifting. The calcite cements considered in this study have been subdivided into four types. Some of the calcite cements, such as the rim, gravity pendant and meniscus, are classified as type one. They have formed around the rock grains and show no luminescence. The blocky and poikilotopic types have been grouped in type two. They are deposited between grains and exhibit dark luminescence. Type three cement consists of some of the blocky and poikilotopic cements that have formed amid grains and present a bright luminescence. Finally, type four comprises filled fractures which display a dark luminescence (blocky cement). Geochemical data revealed that the categorized cement types were precipitated in three diagenetic environments: early meteoric; burial; and late meteoric after the uplifting. The meteoric diagenetic environment is subdivided into vadose and phreatic meteoric. The burial diagenetic environment is subdivided into shallow burial and deeper burial. The qualitative petrographic method contributed to the initial recognition of the diagenetic features. The semi-quantitative cathodoluminescence method, the quantitative major and trace elements, and oxygen and carbon stable isotope analysis were utilized to evaluate the exact diagenetic processes and environments. Finally, the diagenetic sequence was reconstructed and depicted as diagenetic models and a paragenesis sequence. The data of this study can lay the foundation for future studies on the siliciclastic diagenesis in the studied basin.
