Sedimentary environment analysis of the Asmari Formation (Upper Rupelian) based on microfossils in Bandar Abbas Hinterland, south Iran by Jahanbakhsh Daneshian, Mahboobeh Sadat Tabatabaei, Alireza Tahmasbi

“…The presence of large porcelaneous foraminifers associated with Nummulitid suggests deposition in the euphotic zone in an open-lagoonal environment.Bioclastic imperforate foraminifera packstone (MF6): This facies represents a high-energy, shallow-water setting influenced by wave and tide processes. In addition, the presence of Peneroplis and Archaias in this facies indicates a sea grass-dominated environment.Bioclastic small benthic foraminifera echinoid wackestone/packstone (MF7): The low diversity of fauna (small rotaliids and echinoid debris) suggests a low-energy environment in the shallow water of the inner ramp sub-environment.Bioclastic miliolids wackestone/packstone (MF8): This microfacies is interpreted as the restricted shallow inner ramp sub-environment. …”
