Mississippian-Asselian (early carboniferous-early permian) foraminiferal faunas and biostratigraphy of the Shahreza-Abadeh regions (The Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone), Iran / Shirin Fassihi

The Mississippian‒Asselian (Early Carboniferous‒Early Permian) foraminiferal faunas and biostratigraphy were studied in three sections of the Shahreza‒Abadeh regions, in the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, in Iran. These sections with a thickness of about 528‒1180 m are mainly composed of the siliciclastic...
