the study of planktonic foraminifera of the ilam and gurpi formations at sarvestan area (se of shiraz) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially tethysian domain. seven biozones were determined. biozones i (dicarinella concavata zone) and ii (dicarinella asymetrica zone) belong to the ilam formation and indicate the late coniacian-early santonian...

The study of planktonic foraminifera of the Ilam and Gurpi formations at Sarvestan area (SE of Shiraz) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially Tethysian domain. Seven biozones were determined. Biozones I (Dicarinella concavata zone) and II (Dicarinella asymetrica zone) belong to the Ilam Formation and indicate the Late Coniacian-Early Santonian...

The Kometan Formation is widely spread in northeastern Iraq and mostly composed of deep marine carbonates, with a predominance planktonic foraminiferal assemblages throughout its sequences. Two outcrop sections, Smaquli Tabin, were chosen to study the biostratigraphy Formation. identified 32 species belonging 12 genera. According stratigraphic distribution relative foraminifera assemblages, dem...

the gurpi formation, at the type section (nw of masjed-soleiman) and in sabze-kuh (sw of borujen) are lithologically subdivided into 8 and 11 units, respectively. the study of planktonic foraminifera resulted in recognition of 7 biozones in lali area and 4 biozones in sabzeh-kuh area. these biozones are compared to the most standard biozones defined in tethysian domain. biozones i (globotruncan...

The Gurpi Formation constitutes the source rock for petroleum in the oil-rich South Iranian Basin.Gurpi Formations is well distributed along Zagros Foreland Basin particularly in the north west of the Zagros (Lorestan Province). For Microbiostratigraphy and Paleobathymetric studies of the Gurpi Formation in the central part of Lorestan two stratigraphic sections including Sultan and Amiran sect...

The litho-and biostratigraphy of Upper Cretaceous (Gurpi Formation) has been investigated within a well-exposed section at the northern limb of Pey zard anticline, Abnow area, Southern Iran. The studied section consists mainly of grey marl, calcareous pyritic shale, and argillaceous limestones. The Formation unconformably overlies Sarvak Formation and the Tarbur Formation overlies it unconforma...
