Abstract AR

يمثل العصر الرباعي جزء مهم و غامض ضمن ترسبات جنوب العراق، لما يحتويه من تعدد كبير في أنواع الرواسب.

لقد سجلت الدراسة عدد لا بأس به من أنواع الفورامنفيرا و الاستراكودا و الرخويات من ثلاثة آبار واقعة في منطقة الفاو و خور الزبير و أم قصر، امتدت إلى عمق 20م، و بالاعتماد على تلك الأنواع و عددها و توزيعها تم تقسيم العمود الرسوبي من ثلاثة إلى أربعة طبقات متميزة يعود عمرها إلى العصر الرباعي و بينت الأنواع الحياتية بيئات رسوبية متمثلة بالمصبات و الاهوار مع وجود مصدر مياه عذبة كان يغذي المياه المختلطة في ترسبات العصر الرباعي في البصرة.

Based on numerous of these species, they are determining three to four important horizons that reflect special events happening in Quaternary period.

The foraminiferal species concerned are discussed in detail with their environmental relationship, geographic and stratigraphic distributions.

All these detail reveal the saline, mixed and fresh water which affect Basrah Quaternary deposits.
