L’étude de la biodiversité corallienne série sédimentaire l’Oligocène supérieur (Lower Coralline Limestone, Chattien) Malte a permis d’identifier 25 genres scléractiniaires représentés par 41 espèces. Trois nouvelles espèces sont proposées : Miophora naxxarensis n. sp. , Nerthastraea maltensis sp.et Gyrosmilia Les observations réalisées dans divers sites oligocènes Malte, surtout aux environs N...

In this study, four well-exposed outcrops of the Asmari Fm in the southeastern part of the Izeh Zone of the Zagros Mountains were measured and sampled. In this region, the Asmari Fm is Oligocene to Early Miocene in age as determined by large benthic foraminifera. Based on depositional geometries, biogenic contents and lateral and vertical variations of facies, three depositional models are prop...
