Abstract
This paper focused on the systematic of the benthic foraminifera from the Chaman Bid and Goznawwi sections. At the type locality of the Chaman Bid Formation, consists of alternation of limestone (grainstone to wackstone), argilasious limestone and marl. The age of tha Chaman Bid Formation based on ammonite fauna range from ?Bathonian to late Tithonian. and the age. Near the Azadshar, the Farsian Formation is exposed and consists of fossilferous the soft marl, sandstone, limestone and silt which based on ammonite, age of this sediment considered as Callovian. Two studied sections are bearing well - preserved foraminifera which most belong to Lagenina (most belong to Nodosaridae and Vaginolinidae families) and Rotalina (Epistominidae); total 23 genus and 39 species from Goznawwi and 10 genus and 16 species from Chaman Bid sections. The 28 species of the benthic isolated foraminiferal assemblages are first recorded from Iran. In additional, based on this study, Iranian assemblage of foraminifers at this time are most similar to those of the North of the tetyan releam.
