STRATIGRAPHY AND SEDIMENTOLOGY<br />
limestone that can be seen clearly, which belongs to the formation. But, there are<br />
black limestones under Qulqula Formation that are not <strong>as</strong>sociated with chert and they<br />
are not known if they belong to Qulqula or Sargelu Formation.<br />
From Khurmal to the Iraqi-Iranian borders through Biara and Tawella towns, the<br />
limestone members are more cherty and thinner. They are located above Avroman<br />
Limestone and the limestone successions can not e<strong>as</strong>ily separated from the later<br />
formation. To the south of these two towns, very thick and nearly pure chert<br />
succession is located on the Balambo Formation. The contact between these two<br />
formations is not known exactly, because of intense deformation, but at 2km to the<br />
e<strong>as</strong>t of Tawella Village, it looks like tectonic. At the Qandil Mountain toe especially at<br />
type locality, the limestone member is less in thickness and numbers than other<br />
