Combined use of palynology and organic geochemistry in petroleum potential evaluation and paleoenvironmental interpretation of the Kazhdumi Formation (Aptian-Cenomanian) in the southwestern Zagros Basin, Iran
The Kazhdumi Formation of the Bangestan Group is a well-known and important source rock in most oil-fields in the Zagros Basin. In order to examine productivity of this formation in southwestern Iran, and to correlate petrographical and palynological data with geochemical properties, one of the best outcrops of this formation, located in Tange-Maghar 45 km northwest of Behbahan city, was sampl...
متن کاملMarine bivalve shell geochemistry and ultrastructure from modern low pH environments: environmental effect versus experimental bias
Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmental change but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events. We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace element records from different shell layers in the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis combined with detailed investigations of the shell ultrastructure. Mussels from the harbour of Ischia (Mediterranean, Italy) were tr...

Detailed log facies studies of Miocene succession in the well Rashidpur-04, Rashidpur structure, Surma Basin were carried out by integrating wireline log and limited core sample data in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of deposition. Based on the analysis of the log motifs, grain size, sand/shale ratio and major change in gamma ray log motifs, two major depositional sequences were ide...

متن کاملIdentification of growth increments in the shell of the bivalve mollusc Arctica islandica using backscattered electron imaging.
Annually resolved growth increments in the shell of the bivalve mollusc Arctica islandica have previously been used in combination with geochemical measurements to successfully construct high-resolution proxy records of past marine environmental conditions. However, to ensure the accuracy of these paleoenvironmental reconstructions it is essential that the annual growth series of increments wit...
