Paleoecology and biozonation of late paleocene to early miocene Benthic foraminifers in North and South East Shiraz
AbstractAbstract
[en] In this research, two stratigraphic sections were chosen from the late Paleocene to early Miocene (Jahrum and Asmari Formations). These sections includes Sadra and Dodaj plus 645 meters of late Paleocene to early Miocene sediments. For this investigation 360 thin sections were prepared and 12 samples analysed by X RF. We studied Bio tope that includes biozone. These index biozones and percentage of elements that appears in bio tope are identified. Principally index foraminifers, identified in the studied sections, are listed bellow: Miscellanea sp. Kathina sp., Fallotella alavensis Mangin, Opertorbitionlites sp. Alveolina sp. Lituonella ruberti Stache, Rhapydionina urensis Sirel, Orbitolites complanatus Lamark, somalina Stefaninii Silvestri, Dictyoconus sp. Coskinolina liburnica Atache., Nummulites fabianii Prever, Silvestriella tetraedra Gumbel., Nummulites fichteli Michelotti, Austrotrillina howchini Schlumberger, Meandropsina anahensis Henson. Regarding the frequency, type of wall and biotope percentage ratio of each foraminiferal biozone, there are different biotopes that indicate change in the trend of paleoecologic conditions of the late Paleocene to Oligocene sediments
