Introduction<br />
1.8 -The aim <strong>of</strong> the study:<br />
The aim <strong>of</strong> this study <strong>in</strong>cludes the follow<strong>in</strong>g aspects:<br />
1- Complete <strong>and</strong> high resolution biostratigraphic zonation <strong>of</strong> the sections <strong>in</strong><br />
the studied area.<br />
2- Regional biostratigraphic correlation <strong>of</strong> the sections with<strong>in</strong> the area <strong>of</strong> the<br />
study <strong>and</strong> global correlation with other similar sequences<br />
3- Indicat<strong>in</strong>g the age <strong>of</strong> the sequences, by us<strong>in</strong>g the new zonal scheme <strong>and</strong><br />
the age <strong>of</strong> planktonic foram<strong>in</strong>iferal datum events with correlative <strong>and</strong> relative<br />
methods.<br />
4- Depositional <strong>and</strong> paleoenvironmental study <strong>of</strong> the units based on sequence<br />
analysis <strong>of</strong> the formations along the studied section.<br />
5- Paleogeobathymetric <strong>in</strong>terpretation <strong>of</strong> the studied sections.<br />
6. To establish the relations between the Red Bed Series <strong>and</strong><br />
contemporaneous Kolosh Formation <strong>in</strong> the high <strong>and</strong> low folded zones.<br />
7- The nature <strong>of</strong> the contact between Late Maastrichtian <strong>and</strong> early Paleocene.<br />
8- Interpretation <strong>and</strong> determ<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> depositional rate <strong>and</strong> Graphical<br />
correlation between the studied sections.<br />
