| Abstract | ||
| This research is concerned with the study of the microfacies analysis of Sinjar Formation from Baranan Mountain, southwest of Sulaimaniyah city, NE Iraq. The topic of the research represents the first approach in the area for identification carbonate microfacies and microfossils. Thus, the study is applied to an area extremely rich in Paleocene – Eocene paleoflora and paleofauna, mainly represented by red and green algae, corals, and especially large benthic foraminifera (rotallids, discocyclinids and soritids). Two sections were measured in the field, Hazar Merd Section, 135 m thick and Qazan Section, 75 m thick; within the two sections 368 samples were collected. The studying of the thin sections (about 400) allowed us to present some results on the facies succession, micropaleontological content, age and reconstruction of the paleoenvironment of Sinjar Formation. | ||
