Fifteen samples of Limestone from the Hartha Formation were obtained from East Baghdad well No.6, Central Iraq, from the depth (2247-2261 meter) about 14 meters thickness. Detail investigation was carried out, from which fifteen species of calcareous nannofossils identified; eleven were descried from other regions and four were left under an open name because of lack of material or rare of samples. The recorded calcareous nannofossil assemblages recognized two biozones these from the lower to the upper part of the section:
1 - Eiffellithus eximius Interval Zone (CC19) part
2- Ceratolithoides aculeus Interval Zone (CC20) part
These biozones are correlated with other calcareous nannofossils biozones from both local and regional sections that lead to conclude the age of the Middle Campanian.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
