- Abstract:
The study of planktonic foraminifera of the Gurpi formations at Lar area (Kuh-e-kurdeh section) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially Tethysian domain. Five biozones were determined. Biozones I (Globotruncanita elevata zone) and II (Globotruncana ventricosa zone) and III (Radotruncana calcarata zone) indicate the Early Campanian and Middle and Late Campanian, respectively. Biozones IV (Globotruncanita stuarti zone) and V (Gansserina gansseri zone) suggest the Early and Middle Maastrichtian, respectively. In the Late Maastrichtian, due to decreasing in water depth at the study area, Abathomphalus mayaroensis zone defined in Tethysian domain was not recognised.
