Depositional Facies, Sequence Stratigraphy, and Diagenesis of Lower Cretaceous Carbonate Reservoir, Southern Iraq: Implications for Petroleum Exploration

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Lower Cretaceous Yamama Formation of southern Iraq represents a key carbonate reservoir within Iraq and the Middle East, yet its complex depositional facies architecture and diagenetic alterations present challenges for predicting reservoir quality.

Bio‐mediated cementation of supratidal beach sediments associated with groundwater springs

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The formation of beachrock, sensu stricto, via carbonate precipitation in the intertidal zone is widespread throughout the tropics and subtropics. While cementation of supratidal beach sediments has also been noted in several locations, it has received much less attention.

Short-term fate of phytodetritus in sediments across the arabian sea oxygen minimum zone [PDF]

, 2007
The short-term fate of phytodetritus was investigated across the Pakistan margin of the Arabian Sea at water depths ranging from 140 to 1850 m, encompassing the oxygen minimum zone (~100–1100 m).

Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

Oxygen isotopic paleotemperatures across the Runangan-Whaingaroan (Eocene-Oligocene) boundary in a New Zealand shelf sequence [PDF]

, 1981
Oxygen isotopic compositions of the tests of mainly benthic foraminifera, from sections of conformable Late Eocene (Runangan) to Early Oligocene (Whaingaroan) shelf mudstones, at both Cape Foulwind and Port Elizabeth, western South Island, indicate that ...

Foraminiferal survival after long-term in situ experimentally induced anoxia [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Anoxia was successfully induced in four benthic chambers installed at 24 m depth on the northern Adriatic seafloor from 9 days to 10 months. To accurately determine whether benthic foraminifera can survive experimentally induced prolonged anoxia, the ...

Upper Cretaceous, K/T boundary, and Paleocene agglutinated foraminifers from Hole 959D (Côte d'Ivoire-Ghana Transform Margin) [PDF]

, 1998
Upper Cretaceous agglutinated foraminifer assemblages from Hole 959D of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 159, Côte d’Ivoire-Ghana Transform Margin, reflect the subsidence history and paleoceanography of the widening equatorial Atlantic gateway.

Recalibration of the Tethyan shallow-benthic zonation across the Paleocene-Eocene boundary: the Egyptian record

Geologica Acta, 2009
The Galala Mountains in Egypt provide an excellent platform-basin transect with deposits spanning the Paleocene/ Eocene (P/E) boundary. These interfingering deposits enable a recalibration between platform and open marine biostratigraphic schemes.

Paleocene orthophragminids from the Lakadong Limestone, Mawmluh Quarry section, Meghalaya (Shillong, NE India). Implications for the regional geology and paleobiogeography [PDF]

, 2018
The late Paleocene orthophragminids, hitherto poorly known from the Himalayan foreland basins, are studied from the Lakadong Limestone in Meghalaya, northeastern India, in order to establish a systematic, biostratigraphic, and paleobiogeographical ...

Foraminifera from the Campanian–Maastrichtian of the Miriri Sub-Basin, Paraíba Basin, Brazil: implications for biostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental reconstruction [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
This study investigates the core RT-01-PB from the Miriri Sub-Basin, Paraíba Basin, analyzing planktic and benthic foraminifera from the upper Campanian to lower Maastrichtian. The strata belong to the Itamaracá and Gramame formations. Lithostratigraphic,
