| Abstract | ||
| The present investigation deals with the litho- and biostratigraphy of the Tayarat Formation (Upper Cretaceous) from five subsurface sections in Western Iraq. The studied formation composed lithologically of limestone, sometimes dolomitized. The benthonic foraminifera recorded from the Tayarat Formation permit the recognition of the following zones from base to top: 1-Orbitoides tissoti-Orbitoides medius Zone. 2-Orbitoides apiculatus Zone 3-Lepidorbitoides socialis – Lepidorbitoides minor Zone. 4-Pseudochrysalidina conica – Pseudolituonella reicheli Zone The present investigation indicates that the Tayarat Formation is Late Campanian-Late Maastrichtian in age. | ||
