Upper Campanian to Maastrichtian foraminiferal assemblages of the Palmyra Region, Syria

The biostratigraphical and sedimentological results were obtained from cutting samples from three exploration wells (Palmyra-1, Al Mahr-1 and Jihar-1) located in the Palmyra Region in Syria. The detailed micropaleontological analyses were performed on planktonic and benthonic foraminifera assemblages of the Campanian and Maastrichtian sediments. The rich and highly diversified foraminiferal association and lithological characteristics of the Campanian and Maastrichtian sediments suggest the Mediterranean bioprovince with tropical to subtropical climate, and the deposition in the outer shelf to deeper marine environment.
