Abstract AR
اختيرت ثلاثة آبار للدراسة في الفاو في محافظة البصرة جنوب العراق، لم يتجاوز عمقها 29م، تقع منطقة الدراسة في السهل الفيضي لشط العرب و التي تتكون بشكل أساسي من الطين الغريني و الغرين الطيني و معظمها تمثل الرواسب الحديثة، تتميز هذه الرواسب بوجود طبق غرينية طينية رقيقة ذات لون رمادي تقع بين عمق 16-17 م و بينت نتائج الدراسة عدم ظهور المستحاثات في هذه الطبقة نتيجة لعدم وجود دوران المياه فيها.
تم تشخيص 26 نوعاً، 12 منها شخصت لأول مرة في منطقة الدراسة هي : Macrocyprina decora, Candona magnacauda, Cytherelloidea pracipua, Aurila cf.
sp., Loxoconcha certinata, Loxocorniculum cf.
sp., L.
lilljeborg, Stigymatocythere indica, Neocytheromorpha reticulate., Cypridopsis sp., Cyprideis sp., Hemicytheridea sp., Krith sp.
و قد شخصت ثلاث سحنات بيئية و هي درعيات المياه العذبة و درعيات المياه المويلحة و درعيات المياه البحرية الضحلة.
Abstract EN
Three boreholes were taken from Al-Faw town, Basrah, South Iraq; at a depth of about 29m, from an area in the flood plain of Shatt Al-Arab River.
The cores were constituted essentially of silty clay and clayey silt which predominates the recent sediments.
They are characterized by gray dark thin layer of silty clay between 16-17 m.
The results indicated the disappearance of fossils in this thin layer due to the absence of water circulation.
Twenty-six species of Ostracoda were identified, twelve taxa were recorded for the first time in the study area, these are Macrocyprina decora, Candona magnacauda, Cytherelloidea pracipua, Aurila cf.
sp., Loxoconcha certinata, Loxocorniculum cf.
sp., L.
lilljeborg, Stigymatocythere indica, Neocytheromorpha reticulata, Cypridopsis sp., Cyprideis sp., Hemicytheridea sp., Krith sp.
as well as three eco-facies : Fresh water, brackish water and shallow marine Ostracoda.
