Coralline Algae From The Ninniyur Formation (Thanetian)Of The Cauvery Basin, South India
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Palaeocene sediment of the Tiruchirapalli area shows presence of some elements of geniculate and non-geniculate coralline Algae. Four coralline algal species are recorded from this Formation (Thanetian age). Two of the described species belong to Sporolithon. Of the remaining two, one is assigned to Coralline, while the other one is indeterminate, being referred to the subfamily Melobesioideae because of the absence of diagnostic features.

Coralline red algae are highly abunadant and well diversified in the well exposed carbonate deposits of the Lower Pliocene Shagra Formation at Wadi Wizer, Red Sea coast, Egypt. Lithostratigraphically, the Shagra Formation unconformably overlies the Late Miocene Marsa Alam Formation and underlies the Quaternary deposits. This carbonate facies is dominated by different assemblage of coralline red...

The Lower Miocene deposits in Gabal Gharra, Cairo – Suez District, unconformably overlies the Oligocene and Eocene deposits. They consist predominantly of regressive and transgressive mixed siliciclastic / carbonate sediments of shallow marine environments. The Lower Miocene deposits are represented lithostratigraphically by the Gharra Formation that comprises four members, from base to top: Ag...

In this study, four well-exposed outcrops of the Asmari Fm in the southeastern part of the Izeh Zone of the Zagros Mountains were measured and sampled. In this region, the Asmari Fm is Oligocene to Early Miocene in age as determined by large benthic foraminifera. Based on depositional geometries, biogenic contents and lateral and vertical variations of facies, three depositional models are prop...
