Abstract:In the Cenomanian, the southern passive margin of the Neotethys Ocean was dominated by a giant carbonate factory. This succession is known as Sarvak Formation, a significant reservoir in Iran. This study focuses on a detailed analysis of facies variations and paleoenvironmental reconstruction, including the interpretation of the platform types, during this time interval. Based on field observations and petrographical studies, 12 facies have been recognized and ascribed to six facies belts on a carbonate ramp. … Show more
