The book reveals many secrets of the geology of North Eastern Iraq (Kurdistan Region) during Late Cretaceous. The area includes the most important part of Zagros Orogenic belt that is located between Iraq and Iran where many large oil field are found. The book focused on precise basin analysis by the tool of sedimentology, stratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy. By these tools tectonics, environment and paleogeography models are configured. The rocks columns of the Maastrichtian and Campanian ages are correlated in six different sections and divided into two main depositional sequences during...

The Asnawa iron ore is located near the Iran-Iraq border. Country rocks are traversed by a large number of fractures and veins. The fractures represent as pathways for the migration of hydrothermal solutions.Magnetite exists as dense massive aggregates.Magnetite accompanies by gangue minerals, which consists mainly of hornblende and clinopyroxene. The interrelation between hornblende and magnetite suggests that hornblende is formed contemporaneously with magnetite or a little older.Geochemical analyses show that magnetite has a concentration of Fe2O3 ranging between (90.13- 92.93 %). Nickel,...

Conglomerate is the main lithology of any succession which has tectonic and paleogeographic importance. The book illustrates many obscurities of the Conglomerates which overlie the Mesozoic radiolarite of north eastern Iraq (Kurdistan region). The present book focused on the Mesozoic thick conglomerate that belong to Zagros mountain belt and cropped out along the Iran-Iraq border. It shows many different lithofacies, stratigraphic position, sedimentary structures and the first time discovering of angular unconformity between the conglomerates and Mesozoic radiolarite which are discussed in...
