Sequence Stratigraphy and Sea Level Fluctuations of the Ab-Deraz Formation, Based on Palynological Evidence and Magnetic Susceptibility Method “Kopet-Dagh Sedimentary Basin, Northeastern Iran”

facies and sequence stratigraphy of tirgan formation in abgarm and sirzar sections, northeastern kopet-dagh basin

tirgan formation with lower cretaceous age (barremian-aptian) in the kopet-dagh basin consists of carbonate and siliciclastic rocks (calcareous shale and sandstone) which conformably lay between siliciclastic rocks of shurijeh formation below, and marly sarcheshmeh formation at the top. in this study, tirgan formation in two stratigraphic sections of abgarm (77 m in thickness) and sirzar (46 m ...

combination of palynological evidences, magnetic susceptibility and eochemical analyses in sequence stratigraphy of the abtalkh formation (turonian – santonian), kopeh-dagh basin, northeastern iran

â â â  â  â â â â â â â  abstract â  the abtalkh formation in the kopeh-dagh basin in northeastern iran with an age of late cretaceous (turonian – santonian) is selected to evaluate resolution of magnetic susceptibility for assessing sea level fluctuations. thirty-nine shale samples were collected and studied for magnetic susceptibility and palynology. assuming the average ms magnitude as the...

Late Barremian-Early Aptian Ammonites from the Tirgan Formation, Kopet-Dagh Sedimentary Basin, NE Iran

During the recent field research on the Tirgan Formation in the west of Kopet-Dagh sedimentary basin, ammonite assemblages were obtained from the carbonate strata of this formation. This new finding is important for stratigraphical purpose. In this research, 3 genera belong to Heteroceras, Deshayesites and Cheloniceras? as well as one uncertain genus belongs to Turkmeniceras are determined. The...

DEPOSITIONAL HISTORY AND PALEOGEOGRAPHY OF THE LOWER PALEOCENE REDBEDS IN EASTERN KOPET-DAGH BASIN NORTHEASTERN IRAN

Palynofacies-based sequence stratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous strata (Abderaz Formation) in east of Koppeh-Dagh Basin, Northeast of Iran

The Upper Cretaceous strata were studied in a composite stratigraphic section named here Padeha-Baghak section in east of Koppeh-Dagh basin, north east of Iran. In this study, palynostratigraphy, palynofacies and depositional environment history of Abderaz Formation were integrated with sequence stratigraphy. Determination of sea level history and sequence units of the Abderaz Formation using s...
