Abstract
Two new species of miospores are described from Upper Triassic- Lower Jurassic Butmah Formation in borehole Tel-Hajar-1- northern Iraq. These are Concavisporites baăjensis sp.nov. and Concavisporites mosulensis sp. nov.
Highlights
During the course of detailed palynological studies of Triassic and Jurassic strata of Butmah Formation in borehole Tel-Hajar-1 (41o 40' 20" L, 35o 50'40" W) south west Mosul city, Iraq
STRATIGRAPHY The studied samples represent part of Butmah Formation which is penetrated in borehole Tel-Hajar-1
The Butmah Formation was first described by (Dunnington 1953 in Bellen et al, 1959) from borehole Butmah -2 south west Mosul city (Since Butmah Formation is not recognized in surface exposures)
Summary
INTRODUCTION During the course of detailed palynological studies of Triassic and Jurassic strata of Butmah Formation in borehole Tel-Hajar-1 (41o 40' 20" L , 35o 50'40" W) south west Mosul city, Iraq. Two morphologically distinctive species of dispersed trilete spores have been encountered.Tel-Hajar-1 well was drilled on the Tel-Hajar structure which is located 30 Km. southwest of Sinjar town (Fig.1). STRATIGRAPHY The studied samples represent part of Butmah Formation which is penetrated in borehole Tel-Hajar-1.
