Abstract
A new stratigraphic unit is defined from north-west Iraq called the Tel Hajar Formation. This unit is represented by about 110 m of conglomeratic beds alternating with thin beds of sandy-detrital limestone. This new stratigraphic unit is overlain by the Kometan Formation (Late Turonian-Early Campanian) and underlain by the Qamchuqa Formation (Albian-Aptian). The Tel Hajar Formation is devoid of characteristic fossils but contains reworked foraminifers of Albian age. This new formation has been recorded from other parts of Iraq [Ain Zahal Well No. 16, Kaddouri (1979)]; a similar unit has been reported from the north-eastern part of Syria Ponikarov, 1966 and from the Sheik Sollak well No. 1 Kaddouri (1979).
