Abstract
Eocene larger benthic foraminifera including orthophragmines, nummulitids and alveolinids from the Jahrum and Pabdeh formations in the Zagros region are presented. The studied 20-m-thick stratigraphic interval contains, Asterocyclina Gumbel 1870, Nemkovella Less 1987, Orbitoclypeus Silvestri 1907, Discocyclina Gumbel 1870, Nummulites Lamarck 1801, Assilina d'Orbigny 1826 and Alveolina d'Orbigny 1826. This larger benthic foraminiferal assemblage testifies for the shallow benthic zones (SBZs) 15 to 17, which ranges from the middle Lutetian up to the early Bartonian. Further micropaleontological analysis made on intercalated planktonic-rich levels helps calibrate the larger foraminifera biostratigraphy, demonstrating a correlation with the E11 biozone. This confirms that the chronostratigraphic calibration of the SBZs made by previous authors for the peri-Mediterranean area can, through the middle Lutetian to the early Bartonian, be applicable in the Middle East as well.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
