سحنات تكوين سريكاكني و بيئاتها الرسوبية في تركيب سنجار- شمال غرب العراق

الملخص EN

The facies analysis of Serigakni Formation carbonates (Late Oligocene - Early Miocene), which has been studied across two surface sections (Bara and Jaddala) in Sinjar structure, showed that the succession is composed of the alternation of eight Globigerinal mud supported microfacies.

This analysis revealed that the most Serigakni succession might be deposited in deep shelf margin zone and occasionally basin zone.

Although, since the beginning of it’s middle unit at Bara section and upper unit at Jaddala section, the succession affected by abrupt intermittent low density turbidity current.
