Shir Kuh or Shirkuh (Template:Lang-fa; literally: "The lion mountain") is a 4,050-metre (13,287 ft) high mountain in central Iran, in Yazd Province, about 60 miles southwest of Yazd.
Geologically, Shir Kuh is made chiefly of Jurassic granite surrounded by Cretaceous rocks. It is located almost in the vicinity of the Sahand-Bazman volcanic arc, a volcanic arc that was formed during the Tertiary and mainly in the Eocene volcanism.[citation needed]
