The Tarbur Formation is a predominantly carbonate lithostratigraphic unit that crops out in<br />

the Zagros Basin, between the main Zagros reverse fault <strong>and</strong> the High Zagros <strong>and</strong> east of<br />

Sabzpushan Fault. This formation was studied from biostratigraphic point of view at four<br />

measured sections (Robut, Chumsangar, Balghar <strong>and</strong> Sarvestan).<br />

Microbiostratigraphical data mainly based on foraminifera which indicate Early- Middle<br />

Maastrichtian age for deposits of the Tarbur Formation at Sarvestan <strong>and</strong> Middle Maastrichtian<br />

for Balgar, Robat <strong>and</strong> Chamsangar sections.<br />

Keywords: Tarbur Formation, biostratigraphy, Maastrichtian, Zagros.<br />
