This study reports a high-resolution micromorphological characterization of floodplain deposits to investigate the relationships among compositional, textural and geotechnical data, integrate soil micromorphology with sequence stratigraphy. Compositional facies associations features are calibrated against parameters. The latter, obtained from cone penetration pocket penetrometer tests borehole ...

Christie-Blick, N., 1991. Onlap, ofttap, and the origin of unconformity-bounded depositional sequences. Mar. Geol., 97: 35-56. Unconformity-bounded depositional sequences represent the fundamental building blocks of sedimentary successions. They are typically characterized by onlap at the base and by offlap at the top, and they tend to be markedly asymmetrical, with onlap accounting for a large...

Four supergiant and numerous giant gasfields have been discovered in the Southwest Iran which produce from Permian-Triassic carbonates belong to the upper member of Dalan Formation and Kangan Formation. In this research a detailed biostratigraphic, microfacies and sequence stratigraphic study of the late Middle Permian to Triassic successions was undertaken from 850 thin sections prepared from ...

The Tirgan Formation (Barremian – Aptian) is exposed in the Kopet Dagh in northeast Iran. One stratigraphic section in Zavin was measured with a thickness of 110 meters. This Formation in section consists of three parts (including lower carbonate, limy shale – marl and upper carbonate rocks). Based on the study of 94 thin sections, 10 carbonate and 2 siliciclastic lithofacies have been identifi...

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...

This study is focused on the biostratigraphy, sedimentary environments, facies distribution, and sequence stratigraphy of the Coniacian–Santonian sediments of Tange-Bulfaris section. Five assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of the foraminifera in the study area. Assemblage zone 1(Chara Ostracods zone) is Coniacian in age and occurs in the lower part of the succession. Assembl...
