Sedimentary Environments and Sequence Stratigraphy of the Mishan Formation (Foreland Basin Deposits) in Western Fars and Eastern Boushehr

Mishan Formation (Middle Miocene) is the middle part of Fars Group. To determine its facies, sedimentary environments and sequence stratigraphy, this formation has been studied in three sections in the west of Fars and one section in the east of Boushehr. Mishan Formation consists of carbonate and siliciclastic facies deposited in a Carbonate Rimmed Shelf. Two sequences with both type 1 and type 2 sequence boundaries were recognized within the deposits that are in accordance with a part of Tejas megasequence (TB2). The age of this formation is referred to the second epoch of Middle Miocene (Serravallian).
