Abstract:
One stratigraphic section selected for studying the deposits of Qom Formation in 70km Southwest Kashan. The thickness of the studied section is 150 m, and 90 samples were collected. In this study, 29 genera and 34 species of benthonic foraminifera were identified. According to foraminiferal assemblage, the age of the deposits is Early Oligocene (Rupelian). Also, this section is comparable with Eulepidian - Nephrolepidina ? Nummulites Assemblage Zone of Adams and Bourgeois (1967).
