Biostratigraphy, microfacies and sedimentary environment of the Jahrum Formation in Chaharmahal Bakhtiari province, West of Iran

In this research, the biostratigraphy, microfacies, and depositional environment of carbonate sediments of the Jahrum Formation will be investigated based on microscopic textures and the distribution of benthic foraminifera. The Jahrum Formation was measured from Kuh-e-Hamze Ali in the Chaharmahal Bakhtiari province (Zagros Basin, Iran). The biostratigraphic analysis of this formation has led to the […]

Facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy of lower-middle Miocene Euphrates formation (WadiHajar), West of Iraq

The section located in WadiHajar, Haditha area, west of Iraq was sampled for microfacies analysis of the Euphrates Formation. Microfacies analysis led to the recognition of eleven microfacies association types; Mudstone, Peloidalgrainstone, ooidsgrainstone, Miliolids-Peneroplidsgrainstone, Peneroplidsgrainstone, Echinoidalwackestone, Miliolidswackestone, Alveolinidswackestone, Bioclasticpackstone, Peneroplidspackstone and Rotaliidspackstone, were deposited in restricted marine, shoal, and open marine environments. The study of […]
