Abstract:
The study of planktonic foraminifera of the type section Gurpi Formation at Lali area (Khoozestan) enable us to find the most standard biozones defined in Mediterranean regions, especially Tethysian domain. Six biozones were determined at the studied area. Biozones I (Globotruncanita elevata zone) and II (Globotruncana ventricosa zone) and III (Globotruncanita clcarata zone) represent the Early, Middle and Late Campanian respectively. Biozones IV (Globotruncana stuarti zone) and V (Gansserina gansseri zone) and VI (Abathomphalus mayaroensis zone) suggest the Early, Middle and Late Maastrichtian respectively.
