2.3- Lithostratigraphy <strong>of</strong> Kato section<br />
The Kato section is located <strong>in</strong> Barz<strong>in</strong>ja area, lithostratigraphically <strong>in</strong>cludes<br />
the upper part <strong>of</strong> Tanjero Formation <strong>and</strong> the lowermost part <strong>of</strong> Red Bed<br />
Series. The lower part <strong>of</strong> Tanjero Formation was previously studied by<br />
Sharbazheri (2007) <strong>in</strong> order to determ<strong>in</strong>e the age <strong>of</strong> the barren zone belong<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to the 500m <strong>in</strong>traformational Kato Conglomerate which estimated by (1.23<br />
m.y). Only 98m <strong>of</strong> rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g part from Tanjero Formation have been<br />
studied <strong>in</strong> this section, with 12m from the lower part <strong>of</strong> Red Bed Series, the<br />
description <strong>and</strong> lithologic constituent <strong>and</strong> fieldwork <strong>in</strong>vestigation is <strong>in</strong>ferred as<br />
shown <strong>in</strong> fig (2.5).<br />
