In this study biostratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous deposits (Gurpi Formation) in Sepidan section located in the Interior Fars basin (SW Iran) was studied. The Gurpi Formation in this section consists of 360 m lime shale, argillaceous limestone and shale laid continuously on the Ilam Formation and with a paraconformity under the Pabdeh Formation. Nine genera and 27 species of planktonic foram...

Abderaz Formation is one of the Upper Cretaceous formations in the Kopet-Dagh sedimentary basin. A stratigraphic section from the mentioned formation is selected for detailed systematic description with regard to echinoids. Numerous well preserved representatives of the families Mircrasteridae wright, 1857 and Echinocorythidae Lambert, 1920 are described from the Ghaleh-Zoo stratigraphic sectio...

The article presents information about the results of studying material composition, mineralogy and geochemistry deposits formed in Upper Cretaceous (K2) Santon strata North Konimekh uranium deposit located Kyzylkum region. Prospecting, appraisal exploration at mine is an urgent problem, as it focus attention many researchers. This provides extensive on underground alkalization, one methods for...

Upper Turonian–Santonian limestones at three island locations (Ist, Silba and Premuda) in the southwestern part of the Adriatic carbonate platform, record slope deposition based on their sedimentological and palaeontological characteristics. These Upper Cretaceous successions consist of three vertically superimposed lithotypes: (1) pelagic mudstonespackstones, (2) laminated pelagic wackestones-...

The Gurpi Formation, one of the geologycal units of the Zagros Basin, stretches with in the Folded Zagros in the provinces of Khuzestan, Lorestan, and Fars,in southwest Iran. In all 525 samples were collected from five stratigraphic sectiones of the Gurpi Formation in Dezful embayment Zone for studying biostratigraphy. Totally 47 species from 23 Planktonic foraminifera genera were recognized in...
