TL;DR: According to biostratigraphical analysis of the larger benthic foraminifera, five biozones and subzones has been recognized in Late Paleocene to Early Eocene from the Estahbanate sequence of Jahrum Formation in Zagros Basin in southwest Iran as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: According to biostratigraphical analysis of the larger benthic foraminifera, five biozones and subzones has been recognized in Late Paleocene to Early Eocene from the Estahbanate sequence of Jahrum Formation in Zagros Basin in southwest Iran. These biozones are synchronized to Asian plate biozone of Tethys sea and include genus of foraminifera following: Lituonella, Valvulammina, Pseudocrysalidina, Lockhartia, Sakesaria, Katina, Olssonina, Dendritina, Periloculina, Operorbitolites, Alveolina, Somalina, Orbitolites, Broeckinella, Saudia, Schlumbergerina, Idalina, Glomalveolina, Globoflarina, Bigenerina, Psedolituonella, Spirolina, Nummulites and Assilina. Based on the distribution style of foraminifera in the Eocene Estahbanate sequence of Jahrum Formation, six types of microfacies have been recognized: Bioclastic imperforate foraminifera Nummulitidae wackestone–packstone; Bioclastic miliolid rotalinae wackestone–packstone; Bioclastic rotalia alveolinidae packstone–grainstone; Bioclastic miliolid sortidae packstone; Bioclastic miliolid textularina wackestone–packstone; Unfossiliferous mudstone. The microfacies of the Jahrum Formation in study sequence are indicative of depositional settings of open lagoon, lagoon and tidal flat in an inner ramp carbonate platform.
