“…Different species of the Loftusia (after the essential parameters in the studied samples were measured) are identified based on Cox (1937), Meriç and Avsar (1992), and Meriç and Görmüş (2001). Other benthic foraminifers were recognized by resources such as Schlagintweit and Rashidi (2016, 2017a, b, c, d, 2018a, Schlagintweit et al (2016Schlagintweit et al ( a, b, c, 2019, Görmüş et al (2017), Lawa et al (2017), Rashidi (2018, 2019), , Septfontaine et al (2019). Some biozones introduced by Wynd in 1965 for the Zagros foreland basin of Iran and additional ones defined in this study are combined here.…”

Shallow carbonate deposits (Tarbur Formation) were formed in the Zagros foreland basin with dynamic tectonics during the Maastrichtian age. From the viewpoint of reconstruction of depositional conditions in these deposits, studies of biostratigraphy, microfacies, microtaphofacies, and sequence stratigraphy were performed in a single area at Tang-e Shabi Khoon, northwest of Zagros. Based on the identification of two assemblage zones consisting of benthic foraminifera in these strata, the formation was deposited during the middle to late Maastrichtian. The number of cycles in test size and type of coiling in Loftusia decreased from the study area toward the northwest of the Neotethys basin. The input of clastic sediments affected the distribution of Loftusia and rudists in the study area. Nine microfacies, six microtaphofacies, and one terrigenous facies (shale) were identified based on the sedimentary features. These deposits of the middle-late Maastrichtian were deposited on a homoclinal carbonate ramp. The platform can be divided into restricted and semi-restricted lagoon, shoal, and open marine environments. In the study area, the deposits of the Tarbur Formation were deposited during four third-order depositional sequences. Local fault activities affected the formation of depositional sequences in the study area.

“…The index species Orbitoides medius designated Late Campanian age in many parts of the world [42; 43; 44; 45; 23). Görmüş et al [46] [47], [48], and [34] regard Loftusia elongata, L. morgani, and Siderolites calcitrapoides as the most significant Maastrichtian fossils. These fossils are not documented in this study, so the assembly zone is thought to be the Late Campanian-Early Maastrichtian.…”

The Hartha Formation has been investigated from a biostratigraphic view in three subsurface sections in the Nasiriyah Oil field, wells Ns1, Ns3, and Ns4, South of Iraq. Hartha Formation is composed of limestone and has various areas of intense dolomitization alternating with marly limestone. The formation ranges in thickness from 126 to 182 meters. Thirteen large and small benthic foraminifer species and genera are identified from Hartha Formation. Based on the large benthic foraminifer's assemblage, one distinct biozone was recognized after an examination of the paleontological datum in the investigated area showed that the studied wells contained a diversity of foraminiferal species, the larger foraminifers biozone was proposed: Orbitoides medius- Orbitoides tissoti - Orbitoides gensacicus -Orbitoides apiculatus - Omphalocyclus macroporus assemblage zone (Late Campanian- Early Maastrichtian), this biozone divided in two range subzone: Orbitoides medius Partial Range Zone (Late Campanian) and Omphalocyclus macroporus Range Zone (Early Maastrichtian). This biozone indicated that the Hartha Formation deposited through (Late Campanian- Early Maastrichtian).
