Abstract:

In the present research Kuh-e Siah Sections in the Northeast of Shiraz in the Interior Fars, was investigated to study microfacies, sequence stratigraphy, facies analysis and sedimentary environment of Fahliyan Formation. Generally, 345 meters of these sediments were studied by investigating 240 thin sections. In this study, the indicator microfacies were accurately identified which include Mudstone, Wackestone, Packstone and Grainstone. Besides, skeletal and non-skeletal grains of these microfacies are Intraclast, Bioclast, Exteraclast and Pelt. According to lithostratigraphic study, underneath limit of Fahliyan Formation with the Surmeh Formation and its upper contact with Gadvan Formation were in the gradual form (SB2) and included (TST-LST-Early HST-Late HST) system tracts. In general, there were two second-degree sequences in this section., According to the analysis of the sedimentary environment, the The lowermost of the Fahliyan Formaion is comprised of the Inner shelf deposit Which changes to Open marine sediments (with homoclinal type) And eventually terminates to outer shelf deposit.. Based on the received micropaleontologic data, the age determination of the Fahliyan Formation Is assigned to Neocomian.

Sequence stratigraphy and depositional environment of the Oligocene deposits at Firozabad section, southwest of Iran based on microfacies analysis

The Asmari Formation was deposited in the foreland basin of southwest Iran (Zagros Basin). Carbonate sequences of the Asmari Formation consist mainly of large benthic foraminifera along with other skeletal and non-skeletal components. Three assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of these large foraminifera in the study area that indicate Oligocene age (Rupelian-Chattian). Absence...

Sedimentary Facies, Architectural Elements and Trace Fossils of Kashkan Formation, Folded Zagros Zone in SW Iran

The Kashkan Formation (Paleocene to Middle Eocene), consists of conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone in the Zagros Folded zone, southwest Iran. Type of the sedimentary facies, architectural elements and trace fossils show that Kashkan deposits were formed in a low sinuosity braided stream system, with north to south flow direction. The formation displays coarsening-upward succession reflects ...
