Evaluation of Gurpi Formation in section of Pazanan, Fars Province, Southwestern Iran

Leila Fazli, Saeedeh Senemari

Abstract :

The Pazanan section of Northwest of Khonj, near Darolmizan Village of Fars Province, contains one of the most complete Early Campanian to Early Maastrichtian sequences. The majority of the section is made of marl, which is itself overlain by shale of Pabdeh Formation. This formation overlies the sediment of the Ilam Formation. As a result of this study, 11 species and 7 genera of planktonic foraminifera and 4 genera of benthonic foraminifera have been identified. This confirms the existence of bio zones Globotruncantia elevata, Globotruncana ventricosa, Globotruncanella havanensis, Globotruncana aegyptiaca, Gansserina gansseri and bio zones Globotruncanita elevate, Globotruncanita Stuarti – Pseudotextularia varians which suggests the age of Early Campanian to Early Maastrichtian.
