The Study of Fusulinata from Permian deposits in the Northern Maku (Azarbaijan, Iran)

Permian deposits in Maku area have expanded similar to other parts of Azarbaijan and consists of dark gray limestones with approximately thickness of 926 meters. Permian deposits in the study area can be divided into three parts: Bellerophon limestones, cherty limestones and massive dolomitic and crystaline limestones. Permian limestones are fossiliferous and tree orders of foraminiferas (orders Fusulinata, Miliolata and Nodosariata) are detectable that Foraminiferas of Fusulinata and Miliolata have more diversity. In this study, 14 genera and 13 species from order Fusulinata have been identified. Identified foraminiferal assemblages determine the age of Early Murgabian-Dzhulfian for deposits.
