a total 7 species and 13 genera of marine gastropod assemblages are reported for the first time from the varehh zard section (asmari formation), north of pole dokhtar, lorestan basin. the section under study, the asmari formation, lies between the shahbazam formation at the base and gachsaran formation at the top. according to the distribution of index foraminifera, the asmari formation is earl...

Abstract During the Tertiary evolution of Western Mediterranean subduction system, a migrating foreland basin system developed between Maghrebian orogenic belt and adjacent African Craton. However, comprehensive reconstruction systems Rif Chain is still missing. By integrating field observations with quantitative biostratigraphic data from calcareous nannofossil assemblages, sandstone compositi...

Lithological characteristics of the Asmari Formation in the Burujen area are: pelagic foraminifera wackestone-packstone; bentic foraminifera echinid packstone; bentic foraminifera corallinaceapackstone; coral boundstone and echinid corallinacea packstone to grainstone; corallinacea boundstone; corallinacea bryozoa packstone; rniliolid echinid wackestone; and bioclastic wackestone. The exami...

Abstract The foraminiferal contents of the lower–middle Miocene succession exposed in three sections north Nur Abad on northwestern side High Zagros Thrust Belt were studied. Assemblages larger foraminifera from these can be referred to Zone SBZ 25 (and Miogypsina globulus and intermedia subzones), which correlates with Burdigalian Stage. For first time, planktonic documented area document Lang...

In this work the central area of Corsica island was studied in order to reconstruct tectono-metamorphic history continental and oceanic high pressure units that occupy structurally deeper levels tectonic stacking Alpine their stratigraphic structural relationship with European margin (Hercynian Corsica). The study includes geological mapping, mesoscale microscale analysis, acquisition chemical ...

Thrust propagation through previously faulted continental margins may result in fold and thrust belts whose structure is strongly controlled by the inherited basin architecture. A detailed geological study has been carried out in the external zone of the Umbria-Marche Apennines, from Monte San Vicino to the north, to Montagna dei Fiori to the south. Stratigraphic and structural data, together w...
