This research focuses on the lithostratigraphy and microbiostratigraphy implications of the Gadvan and Darian Formations in a part of Zagros sedimentary basin. The Gadvan and Darian Formations in the study area with a thickness of 520 meters consist of gray to green marls and shales, dark-grey limestones and Orbitolina limestone with Late Barremian-Aptian age. According to the lithostratigraphic investigations, the Gadvan and Darian Formations in the study area are subdivided into eleven units. The upper boundary of the Darian Formation with the Kazhdomi Formation and the lower boundary of Gadvan Formation with the Fahliyan Formation are in the form of disconformity. Micropaleontological study of the Gadvan and Dariyan Formations has led to the recognition 20 families, 45 genera, 35 species of benthic foraminifera, 2 genera of pelagic foraminifera and 8 genera and species of the calcareous algae. In this research, three biozones have been recognized by distribution of the larger benthic foraminifera in the Gadvan and Dariyan Formations of the South Semirom, including: 1) Palorbitolina lenticularis-Choffatella decipiens Concurrent Range Zone (middle Late Barremian to early Early Aptian); 2) Praeorbitolina cormyi-Orbitolina (Mesorbitolina) lotzei Assemblage Zone (late Early Aptian); 3): Orbitolina (Mesorbitolina) texanae-Orbitolina (Mesorbitolina) parva Assemblage Zone (Middle to Late Aptian). Based on the identified foraminifera, the age of the Gadvan and Darian Formations in the study area is assigned to Late Barremian to Aptian.

“…The occurrence of planktons in Arsenjan and Nour Abad is an indicator of the mentioned sea level fluctuations. Afghah and Shaabanpour Haghighi [54] have documented the fault control of biozonation in the Aptian carbonate sequence of the Nour Abad area. They explained the Kazeroon fault effect during sedimentation in Nour Abad region; eventually the Kazeroon fault had a tectonic effect similar to Aptian vertical displacement, whereas pelagic facies is recognized in whole Sarvak section of the Arsenjan region.…”

“…Finally, the youngest Sarvak Formation consists of medium‐bedded to massive grey limestone. The most exposed formations in the region are the Cretaceous Sarvak and Dariyan formations (Geological Society of Iran ; Afghah and Haghighi ). South‐west of the basin, younger Tertiary bedrock strata outcrop, while to the north‐east, in the Zagros Imbricate Zone, Mesozoic ophiolites are exposed (Moghadam and Stern ).…”

Ceramic Production in the Kur River Basin (Fars, Iran) During the Middle to Late Second Millennium bce: A Geochemical and Technological Characterization

A total of 119 middle to late second millennium bce pottery samples from six sites in the Kur River Basin (Fars, Iran) were examined to characterize these ceramics and reconstruct their manufacturing technology and the origin of the primary materials. For this, a combined study of handheld XRF and thin‐section petrography was performed. The geochemical signatures of these ceramics were defined and interpreted in their archaeological and geological framework, resulting in the determination of different production processes and clay types used for four ceramic wares (Middle Elamite, Qaleh, Shogha and Taimuran) and the identification of possible outcrops used for Shogha–Taimuran production.
