Abstract

Hormak Section consist of alternation of Oligomictic conglomerate with mainly Alveolinids and Nummulitid bearing calcareous pebbles and afew andesits, basalt and rhyolitic tuff pebbles, Pebbly Sandstone and red shale. The Sourse of red continental - clastic Hormak formation conglomerate probably was Debil formation and Equvaleut Late Paleocene – Early Eocene deposits. Approxmalty 80% of Debil formation foraminifer contents very resemble to that are identified in the Hormak Section conglomerate. In the studied area based on identified species such as A.canavarii, A.elliptica nuttalli, A.pasticillata, A.decipiens, A.fornasinii, A.globula, A.solida Early Eocene age are suggested.
