Abstract
The Upper Cretaceous succession (Lower Cenomanian- Santonian) in Badamoyeh mountain (West of Kerman) contain a rich macro and micro biota, among which benthic foraminifera show a diverse and abundant assemblage. These microfossils are a prominent representative of paleoecological environments. Whrolment, wall structure, possibility of algal symbionts and also mode of life all reflect the paleoecological conditions. The obtained results conduct us to conclude a shallow, photic, warm and oligotrophic environmet has been prevailed during the interval.
