Abstract
A biostratigraphic study of calcareous nannofossils from Kalat Formation of Kopeh-dagh basin has allowed the recognition of the calcareous biozones of sissingh (1977) CC25 (Upper Maetrichtian) & CC26 (most Upper Maetrichtian) from Chahchaheh
And Khesht village and، CC25 (Upper Maastrichian) from entrance of  Kalat city .
