| ABSTRACT Bekhme formation, Dernir Dagh well -1 has been divided into two facies units using core sample slides and depending on sedimentary structures and diagenetic processes .The facies reflect the environment of the foreslope.This work proves the absence of Bekhme formation in Dernir Dagh Well- 1 as a tongue as reported by the Oil Exploration Company. Some species and genera of bentonic foraminifera were identified. The age of Bekhme formation was estimated depending on the recognized index fossils to be lower Maastrichtian. | ||
