carbonate successions of the sarvak formation (late albian? to mid-turonian) together with the carbonate of the ilam formation formed the second important hydrocarbon reservoirs in sw iran and persian gulf. facies analyses were carried out on the upper parts of the sarvak formation in western part of the ahwaz oilfield (az-63 well) to interpret depositional environment. lithologically, the uppe...

Paleocene and  Lower Eocene deposits in SW Iran are known as Pabdeh formation.Pabdeh formation is one of the most important lithostratigraphy unit as source rock has been deposited in Zagros basin over an extremely long period in time. The area under research is the Ghachsaran 55 subsurface Section located  from the Ghachsaran oil field in Dezful embeyment in zagros fold zone. The Lower boundry...

Abundance and multilateral extension of prominent genus and species of Brachiopoda in the majority of sedimentation series of the Late Devonian have been observed in all parts of Iran. The variability and rapid change in this respect has made it possible to delineate different lines of orthogenetism, biozonation and present biostratigraphical models at the sub-stage level. These characteristics...

The excellent preservation of the acritarchs, their great abundance, diversity and good stratigraphic control permit establishment of a detailed Middle and Late Cambrian acritarch biozonation. A total of 56 palynomorph species form the basis of 10 local acritarch assemblage zones. Assemblage zones I-II occur in the lower and middle parts of the Member C of the Mila Formation and suggest Early-m...

Abstract The Latest Danian Event (LDE, ~ 62.2 Ma) is characterized by global changes in the carbon cycle as indicated two negative ? 13 C excursions of up to 1‰. These shifts are accompanied a 2–3 °C warming both surface and deep waters based on benthic planktic foraminiferal 18 O measurements, LDE has, thus, been considered so-called hyperthermal event. event lasted for 200 kyr has identified ...

Biostratigraphy has remained a tool for basin and environmental reconstruction in sedimentology. This study aims to further delineate classify the lithology, environment of deposition, biozonation microorganisms found studied well. Thirty-four (34) ditch cutting samples from OMA well, offshore Dahomey Basin, were considered their textural palynomorphs/palynofacies characterization. The observed...
