[ 1 ] - Nitrogen isotope variations and environmental perturbations during Cenomanian-Turonian transition in the NE Tethyan realm, Koppeh-Dagh basin

The Cenomanian-Turonian Gharesu section in the east of Kopet-Dagh basin have been investigated to determine the relationship between palaeoenvironmental perturbations and nitrogen cycling across OAE2. This succession is composed of 43 m shale and marl interbedded with glauconitic sandstone and lies between Aitamir-Abderaz formations boundary. The nitrogen Isotope values fluctuate between 0‰ to ...

[ 2 ] - Enhanced chemical weathering and organic carbon burial as environmental recovery factors of the OAE2; a case study in the Koppeh-Dagh Basin (NE Iran)

A late Cenomanian-early Turonian interval (Hamam-ghaleh section) adjusted with the transition of Aitamir and Abderaz formations has been investigated in the east of Koppeh-Dagh Basin to examine environmental perturbations related to the oceanic anoxic event 2. The dark shale of the upper Aitamir Formation indicate higher organic matter concentrations especially in the two intervals at the end o...

[ 3 ] - On certain Neocomian – Aptian calcareous algae in the West of Kopet Dagh (NE-Iran) – Systematics and compared biogeography, focusing on Dasycladales

In Western Kopet Dagh, the lower Cretaceous carbonate series contains distinctive assemblages of calcareous algae, chiefly Dasycladales which are primarily studied in this work. Based on the significant presence of certain species, the Zard Formation, assigned to the Valanginian and, in its upper part, to the Hauterivian or base of the Barremian, is subdivided into two intervals, respectively A...
