Biostratigraphy of the Gurpi Formation Based on Planktonic foraminifera in Gandab Section and it's comparison with Type section, Kabirkuh Anticline, SW Iran
Introduction Due to the source nature and placement of the Gurpi Formation between the Asmari and Bangestan reservoirs, it has a special importance. The name of this formation has been derived from Gurpi Mountain in the northwest of Masjid-Soleyman County. At the type section, this formation include...
