The Dehmolla area, located west of Shahroud (Semnan Province) along the southern margin of the Eastern Alborz Mountains, represents one of the most valuable geosites in Iran for the development of scientific geotourism. This is due to its continuous succession of Precambrian to Jurassic sedimentary rocks, high diversity of fossils and ichnofossils, predominant sedimentary structures (including, ripple marks, syneresis cross stratification, and pseudomorphs salt), and remarkable structural evidence (unconformities, folding, and klippe). In this study, four main geological themes of the Dehmolla area have been investigated, and its geotourism potential is evaluated based on scientific, educational, accessibility, and infrastructural criteria. The results indicate that Dehmolla, with its high density of geological phenomena within a limited area, easy accessibility (situated along the main Tehran–Shahroud highway), and the possibility of scientific accommodation at the Shahroud University of Technology educational mine, has the capacity to become a regional geopark and a hub for geology education in the Middle East.
