Biostratigraphy Study of Planktonic Foraminifera in Shiranish Formation and its Contact with Aaliji Formation in Pulkana Well No. 7 North Iraq

Planktonic Foraminifera is studied from Shiranish & Aaliji formations in Pulkana Well No. 7 North Iraq between the depth intervals (1948-2240) m, six biostratigraphy zones are recognized in the formation as arranged from bottom to top: 1. Globotruncanita stuarti–stuartiformis Partial Range Zone. 2. Globotruncana aegyptiaca Interval Zone. 3. Gansserina gansseri Total Rang Zone. 4. Morozovella angulata Partial Range Zone . 5. Globanomalina pseudomenardii Total Rang Zone . يديدحلا باهش ناطلس اللهدبع دمحا دومحم فوؤر دمحم ضرلأا مولع مسق / مولعلا ةيلك ةيقيبطتلا ايجولويجلا مسق / مولعلا ةيلك صوملا ةعماج ل عماج كوكرك ة Mohamed R.

The result of this study is compared with the work of others inside and outside Iraq, The age of the Shiranish Formation is Early Late Campanian to Earliest Maastrichtian whereas Aaliji Formation is Late Paleocene.
