Biostratigraphy of the Gurpi Formation in Sepidan section, Interior Fars basin based on planktonic foraminifera
Authors
Abstract:
In this study biostratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous deposits (Gurpi Formation) in Sepidan section located in the Interior Fars basin (SW Iran) was studied. The Gurpi Formation in this section consists of 360 m lime shale, argillaceous limestone and shale laid continuously on the Ilam Formation and with a paraconformity under the Pabdeh Formation. Nine genera and 27 species of planktonic foraminifera have been identified in the section. On this basis, the Gurpi Formation here includes nine biozones with an age of Santonian to Maastrichtian. The biozones identified resemble considerably those of the other parts of the world.

The Gurpi Formation with a thickness of 190 m at the Kouh-e sefid anticline is investigated with regard to the calcareous nannofossils. In this section, Gurpi Formation is mainly consists of shale, marls and argillaceous limestones. As a result of this study, 21 genera and 41 species of calcareous nannofossil have been recognized. Based on distribution of index species calcareous nannofossils...

This study presents calcareous nannofossils biostratigraphy of the Campanian‒Danian interval at the Gurpi Formation in the southwest of Ilam Province, in the Zagros Basin. The studied sequence of the Gurpi Formation mainly consists of marly shale and limestones. The thickness of Gurpi Formation was measured as approximately 230 m. Forty-five species belonging to twenty-eight genera were recorde...
