Chapter Five Conclusion Paleontologically there were no significant evidences of fossils record in this interval of lower most part of Gercus Formation in which six samples were studied for both foraminiferal and palenomorphs. Consequently it is convenient to mention that the geologic age of the Gercus Formation in Smaquli area, inferred conformable gradditional nature, and may began from the Danian (Lower Paleocene) instead of Middle Eocene age. 8- The Tanjero Formation was completely studied in Smaquli area which represented by 72m. And subdivided lithologically into three distinct units based on field observation and lithologic characters. Chronostratigraphically represents Late Maastrichtian Epoch. 9- The total number of planktonic and benthonic foraminiferal species was identified from all studied sections as follow: A - Gali section 82 planktonic species were belonging to 23 Genus in Shiranish- Tanjero transition unit but in Tanjero Formation 21 planktonic species were belonging to 14 Genus in Kolosh Formation, while 66 benthonic species were belonging to 38 Genus in Shiranish-Tanjero transition unit and Tanjero Formation, 50 benthonic species are belonging to 30 Genus in Kolosh Formation. B- Qulka section 53 planktonic species were belonging to 18 Genus in Tanjero Formation and 16 planktonic species are belonging to 9 Genus in Kolosh Formation, but 52 benthonic species were belonging to 36 Genus in Tanjero Formation and 43 benthonic species are belonging to 31 Genus in Kolosh Formation. C - Sirwan section 62 planktonic species were belonging to 20 Genus in Tanjero Formation and 18 planktonic species are belonging to 11 Genus in Kolosh Formation, but 58 benthonic species was belonging to 36 Genus Tanjero Formation and 52 benthonic species are belonging to 32 Genus in Kolosh Formation. 114
Chapter Five Conclusion D - Qishlagh section 26 planktonic species were belonging to 13 Genus in Tanjero Formation, while 42 benthonic species were belonging to 28 Genus in Tanjero Formation. E - Kato section 30 planktonic species were belonging to 14 Genus in Tanjero Formation, while 38 benthonic species were belonging to 25 Genus in Tanjero Formation. 10- Based on the geologic range and relative abundance of Planktonic foraminiferal species, the studied sections along (K/T) boundary are precisely divided into the numbers of biostratigraphic zones, depending on the new zonal scheme as high resolution biostratigraphic studies, which are quietly adequate and commonly used in low and middle latitudes. In addition to that, these biostratigraphic zones were correlated to their equivalents in and outside of the region and with world wide standard biostratigraphic zones with the aid of datum events which show the age of planktonic foraminiferal zones. The distinguished biostratigraphic zones in the studied sections are the following from the base upward. A - Gali section (Smaquli area) a1 - upper part of Globotruncana aegyptiaca Interval Zone (CF8), (Upper part of Shiranish Formation and Lower most part of Reddish to pale brown succession) (Early Maastrichtian) a2- Gansserina gansseri Interval Zone (CF7), (Reddish to pale brown succession) (Early Maastrichtian) a3 - Contusotruncana contusa Interval Zone (CF6), (Reddish to pale brown succession), (Early Maastrichtian) a4 - Pseudotextularia intermedia Interval Zone (CF5) (Reddish to pale brown succession), (Early Maastrichtian) a5 -Racemiguembelina fructicosa Interval Zone (CF4), (upper most part of Reddish to pale brown succession and lower part of Tanjero Formation) (Late Maastrichtian) a6 - Pseudoguembelina hariaensis Interval Zone (CF3), (Tanjero Formation), 115
