النيوجين البحري على الطرف الشمالي الغربي من سورية (حوض نهر الكبير الشمالي)‎

Abstract EN

The micropaleontological analysis related to the planktonic and benthic foraminifera which has been implemented in the marine Neogene depositions distributed in North -west of Syria led to identify number of the biozones of two Neogene epochs, and in particular the Miocene in the basin of Al-Kabir AlShimaly River, in addition to determine the boundary between the Miocene and the Pliocene through depositions of evaporitic salt known in the Mediterranean region as Messinian.

A well as, the lithological study led to exploring the nature of the rock facies and follow their vertical and horizontal changes in different regions of the sedimentary basin.

The correlation of the different geological sections in the basin helped to detect some features of Paleogeographic developments that have occurred in the region during the Neogene Period.
