Abstract

From the Jaddala Formation in northern Iraq in the (K152) well, there are (12 species) of calcareous nannofossils described (belonging to 8 genera), (6 families) following a detailed analysis of calcareous nannofossils. The Jaddala Formation comprises one biostratigraphic zones that have been discovered, Coccolithus staurion Partial Taxon range biozone (CP13c) and its age has been assessed to be in the middle Eocene. Therefore, we proposed a middle Eocene (Lutetian to Bartonian) date for the Jaddala Formation.
