Abstract
Microfacies analysis and Paleoenvironment of Baba Formation were investigated in Anah area, Anbar Governorate, Western Iraq. Baba Formation was cropped out in Wadi Al-Khazgah section with 9 meters thick, consisting of white to creamy, chalky, coralline, high fracture Limestone. Five Microfacies types were recognized Coral Lime Boundstone, Lepidocyclina Lime Packstone, Nummulitids Lime Packstone, Miliolids Lime Packstone - Grainstone, and Coraline Algae Lime Wackestone described in 10 samples collected from one section (Wadi Al-Khazgah Al-Gharbi section). These Microfacies described on the basis of the presence of the Benthic Large Foraminifera (BLF) as Miliolids, Lepidocyclinide, Rotalide and skeletal fragments of brachiopod, coral, and algae shell. The paleoenvironment of Baba Formation was determined fore-Reef and Reef environments.
