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 />
