Abstract:The Beduh Formation (Lower Triassic) is a rhythmic succession of mudstones and fine-grained to very fine grained sandstones, cropping out in the Northern Thrust Zone, Kurdistan, Iraq. This lithostratigraphic unit is traditionally interpreted as offshore to lower-shoreface facies of a homoclinal ramp system. Facies and sequence-stratigraphic analysis identifies two third-order depositional sequences. These two sequences are restricted within type 2 sequence boundary at the bottom of the formation and type 1 seq… Show more
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.
