Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine calcareous nannofossil species found in Kamar-Kuh area and demonstrate this use for biostratigraphic studies. The Qom Formation is widely distributed in Kamar-Kuh section and has nine members(a–f). In this study, 12 samples were taken and prepared with smear slide. Some of the determined species are listed below, and some of them are photographed by light and scanning microscope. According to obtained nannofossils, 16 species, nine genera, and six families were determined. Obtained nannofossils indicated age of Burdigalian–Serravalian (middle Miocene) for this section.

Abstract

الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو تعيين أجناس الطافيات الكلسية المتناهية الصغر الموجودة في منطقة كماركو وتوضيح استخدامها في دراسات الطبقات الحيوية. إن متكون قم ينتشر بصورة واسعة في قطاع كماركو ويحتوي على 9 أعضاء (a – f) . في هذه الدراسة تم أخذ 12 عينة وتم تحضيرها على شكل شرائح ضوئية. بعض الأجناس التي تم تعيينها ورصدها تم تصويرها بواسطة الميكروسكوب الضوئي . طبقا للأحافير المتناهية الصغر التي تم التعرف عليها تم تعيين 16 نوع و9 أجناس و6 عائلات. هذه الأحافير المتناهية الصغر المتعرف عليها دلت على العمر الزمني لهذا القطاع ليكون بوردجلين – سيرفلين ( ميوسين أوسط).
