University of Isfahan Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches 2008-7888 31 1 2015 04 21 Stratigraphy and Sedimentary environment of Asmari Formation in Moshkan section, South east Yasuj Stratigraphy and Sedimentary environment of Asmari Formation in Moshkan section, South east Yasuj 67 90 16835 FA Khalil Forouzandeh Tabriz Payame Noor Reza Sadeghi Payame Noor University Mahin Mohammadi Payame Noor University Journal Article 2016 06 14 Abstract: The present research studies sedimentary succession of Oligocene Asmari Formation at Tang-e Moshkan stratigraphic section aimed at evaluating lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy and determining microfacies, microfacies class, sub-environments, and sedimentary environment. The mentioned section at southern flank of Tamar anticline from of Sub-coastal Fars sub-basin located in folded Zagros. It was selected in boundary of Fars and Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces with a Thickness over than 350m consisting of limestone and marly limestone strata. In this section, lower and upper boundaries of Asmari Formation are continuously located over Pabdeh and under Razak Formations as homoclinal ones, respectively. The studied thickness of Pabdeh and Razak Formations are respectively 241m and 9m in this section. Biostratigraphy studies conducted on 195 thin sections resulted in identification of 37 genus and 44 species of bentic foraminifera, 4 genus and 4 species of planktonic foraminifera along with some non-foraminifera, determination of Oligocene (Rupelian - Chattian), and Introduction of two assemblage zones that old to new, respectively: 1- Nummulites vascus - Nummulites fichteli Assemblage Zone  2- Archaias asmaricus / hensoni - Miogypsinoides complanatus Assemblage Zone Results of high resolution field and laboratory of observations and studies were embedded as recognition and classification of 8 microfacies class in 3 lagoon, shoal and open marine sedimentary sub-environments, all deposited on a carbonated platform of a homoclinal ramp.
