6."Basin Analysis of Tanjero Formation in Sulaimaniya Area, Ne-Iraq" by Kamal Haji Karim
“Basin Analysis of Tanjero Formation in Sulaimaniya Area, Ne-Iraq” Book Review: This book provides an overview of the geology of the Kurdistan Region in North Eastern Iraq, with a focus on the Zagros Orogenic Belt where numerous large oil fields are located. The book describes the sedimentology, stratigraphy, tectonics, and paleoenvironmental studies of the Maastrichtian rock column of a part of the Zagros region. The use of tectonic tools allows for the configuration of environment and paleogeography models. The formation is divided into three parts (lower, middle, and upper) based on the main lithological distribution, and the correlation across six different sections is based on the lithology and stratigraphic position of distinctive conglomerate and its derivative sandstones. In the chapter on tectonics, the old ideas of the basin’s tectonics are discussed and several new ones are introduced. This book is a valuable resource for geologists, researchers, and students interested in the geology of this region.
