Abstract The Taho Formation in western Shikoku Island, Japan, consists of Triassic carbonates that formed on a seamount the Panthalassic Ocean. In order to investigate stratigraphy and paleoceanography this carbonate succession, we analyzed biostratigraphy chemostratigraphy 17.6 m‐thick section upper at stratotype area Tahokamigumi, Seiyo City. This comprises bioclastic limestone containing biv...

Correlation of Lower Cambrian rocks is hampered because there are no widespread and rapidly evolving organisms such as the later agnostids, graptolites, conodonts, ammonites, or planktonic foramini fers, that might provide basis for a consistent intercontinental biostratigraphy. Four problems illustrate issue: 1) age oldest trilobites China; 2) acritarch correlations between Siberia Baltica; 3)...

The article is devoted to Yelyzaveta Yakivna Krayeva, a worthy representative of the Ukrainian school micropaleontology P.A. Tutkowsky and O.K. Kaptarenko-Chernousova, senior researcher, Candidate Geological Mineralogical Sciences. Ye.Ya. Krayeva recognized micropaleontologist who made significant contribution study Eocene Oligocene foraminifera Southern Ukraine. She was engaged in Paleogene bi...

biostratigraphy of bahram formation succession, with 359.8 meter thickness, in the sardar section (north of kerman, central iran) is done in this study. bahram formation is mostly composed of limestones (with a lesser amount of sandstones), and conformably overlies the top sandstone beds of the padeha formation. but, the upper boundary with the hutk formation (late tounaisian) is disconformable...

In this research, biostratigraphy related to the carbonate succession of the Shahbazan Formation at the southeastern flank of Chenar anticline, Lurestan Basin, is discussed. A study of large benthic foraminifera from the 294 mthick Shahbazan Formation led to the identification of two Middle Eocene biozones: Somalina sp. Zone, Nummulites-Alveolina Assemblage Zone. The age of the Shahbazan Format...

in order to microfacies studies of the cretaceous deposits, a section called korkouh was selected in kerman province in central iran area. the korkouh is on the bidou formation with angular unconformity and underlain by paleogene conglomerates with an erosional surface. the studied section basically contains lime and dolomitic limestone with the thickness of 146 meters with new fossils such as ...
