this study presents the nannostratigraphy and nannofossil events in the lower boundary of kalat formation in the east and west of the kopeh- dagh basin. the kalat formation comprises of coarse grained detritus limestone with subordinate sandstone intercalations. in the current study, six sections have been chosen in the east and west of the basin which are as follow: dobaradar section, kalat se...

in order to study the stratigraphic of sedimentary deposits of the cenomanian in kopeh dagh, the taghiabad section was selected. in the eastern kopeh dagh, the upper part of aitamir formation has this time range characteristic. the upper part of this formation includes shale and glauconitic sandstones and contains variety of ammonite fauna. ten genera and species of ammonites are found inside t...

Abderaz Formation is one of the Upper Cretaceous formations in the Kopet-Dagh sedimentary basin. A stratigraphic section from the mentioned formation is selected for detailed systematic description with regard to echinoids. Numerous well preserved representatives of the families Mircrasteridae wright, 1857 and Echinocorythidae Lambert, 1920 are described from the Ghaleh-Zoo stratigraphic sectio...

benthic foraminiferal assemblages from maastrichtian strata, gansserina gansseri-abathamphalus mayaroensis planktonic foraminiferal zone, of the abtalkh formation at aitamir section (west of the kopeh-dagh basin) were investigated in order to evaluate the palaeoenvironmental changes (organic matter flux and bottom-water oxygenation). maastrichtian faunal assemblages are well preserved and diver...

in central part of kopeh dagh there is an array of active right-lateral strike-slip faults that obliquely cut the range and produce offsets of several kilometers in the geomorphology and geological structure. geomorphic indices indicate the presence of differential uplifting in history of this area. tectonic activity of the study area is investigated by a large number of dem derived catchments ...

large benthic foraminifera and dasycladalean green algae are the most common and important (micro) fossils in lower cretaceous shallow-water sediments of the tethyan realm. in this paper, we introduced such taxa and their importance in age dating of lower cretaceous strata in the kopet-dagh sedimentary basin. also, according to determinations of index taxa (fauna and flora) in this period, the ...
