Late Barremian-Early Aptian Ammonites from the Tirgan Formation, Kopet-Dagh Sedimentary Basin, NE Iran
Authors
Abstract:
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 ammonite fauna dates the Tirgan Formation from the late Barremian to early Aptian in the studied stratigraphic section.

Introducing some echinoderms from the Tirgan Formation, Kopeh-Dagh Basin, NE of Iran
A stratigraphic section from the Tirgan Formation was selected in Arkan village nearby Bojnourd city in order to study echinoderm fauna systematically. Many specimens of echinoderms, especially toxasteridae which is associated with brachiopods were collected and studied systematically in this paper. Microscopie slides were also prepared and studied. All slides contain benthic foraminifers and c...

The Tirgan Formation (Barremian – Aptian) is exposed in the Kopet Dagh in northeast Iran. One stratigraphic section in Zavin was measured with a thickness of 110 meters. This Formation in section consists of three parts (including lower carbonate, limy shale – marl and upper carbonate rocks). Based on the study of 94 thin sections, 10 carbonate and 2 siliciclastic lithofacies have been identifi...

Representative ammonites of the Family Heteroceratidae have been studied in this paper. The following forms are recorded from the Koppeh-Dagh Basin: Heteroceras cf. colchicus Djanelidze, Heteroceras spp., Martelites cf. tenuicostatus (Kakabadze), Martelites securiformis (Simonovich, Bastevich and Sorokin), Martelites cf. tinae (Eristavi), Martelites sp.1, Martelites sp. 2, Argvethites sp., Imer...

The type section of the Middle and Upper Jurassic Chaman Bid Formation is in the western Koppeh Dagh Basin (Northeast Iran). It is unusually thick and contains a rather rich ammonite fauna, ranging from Bathonian to Tithonian. The ammonites described here come from a 134-m-thick interval in the upper part of member (D) in the middle part of the formation, consisting of an alternation of grey li...

The Upper Jurassic carbonates of the eastern part of the Kopet-Dagh Basin, with thickness of 470 m, are the major gas-bearing reservoir in NE Iran. The objectives of this study are recognition of diagenetic history and estimation of porosity related to dolomitization. Based on field and laboratory study, four carbonate facies associations have been identified at the Mazdavand outcrop. Most of t...
