Abstract
This study is based on larger benthic foraminifera that dominate the Lower Miocene shelf carbonates of the Qamcheqai section, NW Iran. During the time of deposition, the investigated area was positioned on the Eurasian side of the Tethyan Seaway between the Eastern and Western Tethys. Seven porcelaneous and hyaline perforated species were determined, including Praebullalveolina curdica, Peneroplis evolutus, Androsina cf. diyarbakirensis, Sivasina egribucakensis, Miogypsina cf. intermedia, Operculina complanata, and Amphistegina bohdanowiczi. The presence of Miogypsina cf. intermedia, and Praebullalveolina curdica allowed to correlate the assemblage with SBZ 25 Zone, indicating a Burdigalian age. The results of this study extend the paleogeographic distribution of the endemic taxa Androsina and Sivasina eastwards as far as Central Iran.
期刊介绍:
La Revue de micropaléontologie publie 4 fois par an des articles de intérêt international, consacrés à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie. Les textes, en anglais ou en français, sont des articles originaux, des résultats de recherche, des synthèses et mises au point, des comptes rendus de réunions scientifiques et des analyses de ouvrages. La revue se veut résolument ouverte à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie en accueillant des travaux traitant de la systématique des microfossiles (et de leurs équivalents actuels), des bactéries aux microrestes de vertébrés, et de toutes leurs applications en sciences biologiques et géologiques.
