foraminifera and dinoflagellate cysts suggested a late Turonian-early Campanian age for this formation. Palynofacies parameters such as frequency and diversity of dinoflagellate species and the ratio of continental to marine constituents (CONT/MAR ratio) have...

and analysed for palynomorphs. Two palynological zones and tree types of Palynofacies have been identified. The Palynofacies and dinoflagellate assemblages indicate deposition in neritic to shallow marine environments....

Assemblages of planktonic foraminifera and dinoflagellate cysts were studied from the 359 m thick Padeha-Baghak composite section of the Abderaz Formation, eastern Koppeh-Dagh Basin, NE Iran. The formation consists mainly of light grey shales...
