Abstract
The Tirgan Formation (Barremian-Aptian) is exposed in the Kopet-Dagh in NE Iran. Two stratigraphic sections in Radkan and Chenaran were measured. Their thickness are 238m and 119 m respectively. This Formation in measured sections consists of three parts (including lower carbonate, middle limy shale-marl and upper carbonate rocks). Based on study of 164 thin sections, 15 carbonate and 2 siliciclastic lithofacies have been identified. Carbonate lithofacies are deposited in a ramp platformin fore shoal, shoal, lagoon and tidal flat environments. Sea level changes duringlower Cretaceous led to the formation ofdifferent large scale depositional sequences Radkan (two) and Chenaran (two) respectively.The present study highlight the reconstruction of tectonic history of the area during lower Cretaceous.
