Abstract:

The Albian- Cenomanian (Kazhdumi Formation) sediments from northeast of Shiraz, Zagros Basin, represents a carbonate sedimentary succession and contain diverse gastropods and bivalves. Detailed studies on 80 samples of invertebrate macrofauna on two stratigraphic sections led to recognized 2 species and 5 genera of gastropods and 7 species and 13 genera of bivalves assemblages. The abscence of large gastropods and bivalves fauna and abundance of suspension-feeders indicated instability of the substrate and a  medium enrgy condition. From a palaeobiogeographic point of view, the fauna from the Kazhdumi Formation were similar to the Central Iran and North Jordan and Wadi Qena (Egypt).

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...

Early angiosperm ecology: evidence from the Albian-Cenomanian of Europe.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The mid-Cretaceous is a period of sudden turnover from gymnosperm to angiosperm-dominated floras. The aim was to investigate the fossil plant ecology in order to follow the spread of angiosperm taxa. METHODS Floristic lists and localities from the latest Albian-Cenomanian of Europe are analysed with Wagner's Parsimony Method, a clustering method currently used in phylogeny...

Upper Cretaceous Petroleum System of Northwestern Persian Gulf

Three well - known source rocks of the Zagros basin and the Persian Gulf are Mesozoic in age.The Jurassic Sargelu, Albian Kazhdumi and Neocomian-Coniacian Garau formations have charged the Cretaceous reservoirs of this area. The northwest part of the Persian Gulf is strongly influenced by two major N-S trending paleohighs (Hendijan- Bahregansar-Regesafid-Izeh and Kharge- Mish) and surrounding p...
