چکیده

a stratigraphic section from the tirgan formation was selected in arkan village nearby bojnourd city in order to study echinoderm fauna systematically. many specimens of echinoderms, especially toxasteridae which is associated with brachiopods were collected and studied systematically in this paper. microscopie slides were also prepared and studied. all slides contain benthic foraminifers and calcareous algae as well as gastropod and coral fragments. based upon diagnostic micro and macro fossils, a barremian-aptian age is assigned to the tirgan formation which suggests urgonien facies type indicating shallow water of open marine environment the urgonien is named after the village with this name in the east of tarascon, france. this facies type is characteristic of shallow-water carbonate facies which was accumulated along the tethys northern shelf from the barremian to the late albian. the facies consists of hard, white-gray limestones which contains orbitolina (foraminifers) and transitional sediments – detrital or siliceous limestones (foury, 1968).

Late Barremian-Early Aptian Ammonites from the Tirgan Formation, Kopet-Dagh Sedimentary Basin, NE Iran

During the recent field research on the Tirgan Formation in the west of Kopet-Dagh sedimentary basin, ammonite assemblages were obtained from the carbonate strata of this formation. This new finding is important for stratigraphical purpose. In this research, 3 genera belong to Heteroceras, Deshayesites and Cheloniceras? as well as one uncertain genus belongs to Turkmeniceras are determined. The...

Significance of ichnofossils in high resolution sequence stratigraphy: Upper Maastrichtian, Kopeh- Dagh Basin, NE Iran

This study shows that ichonology can be used to refine sequence stratigraphy as well as to interpret the depositional environment of the Kalat Formation (Upper Maastrichtian) in the Central Kopeh- Dagh Basin (NE Iran), Dareh-Gaz section. Field studies and petrography of these deposits led to recognize four lithofacies and nine subfacies that formed in the tidal flat (lithofacies A), lagoon (lit...

Porosity evolution and diagenetic history of the upper Jurassic Mozduran Formation, eastern Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran

The Upper Jurassic carbonates of the eastern part of the Kopet-Dagh Basin, with thickness of 470 m, are the major gas-bearing reservoir in NE Iran. The objectives of this study are recognition of diagenetic history and estimation of porosity related to dolomitization. Based on field and laboratory study, four carbonate facies associations have been identified at the Mazdavand outcrop. Most of t...
