More than 20 Sample were collected from the carbonate unit and seven species belonging to six genera and six families were characteristic in the current study representing by: Nuculana minima, Ostera bellovacina, Ostera semiplana, Mytilus edulis, Glycymeris obovata, Parastarte sp. and Pecten sp. This species are indicating that the carbonate beds in the studied section of Fat'ha formation were deposited in the shallow marine between sub to inter tidal environment, under low salinity. | ||
