Abstract :

Mozduran Formation in Khore syncline (north-east Mashhad) has been divided into five portions including limestone, argillaceous limestone, shale, limestone and alternation of sandy limestone,
sandstone and sandy shale. Limestones are mainly composed of skeletal calcilutite with minor amounts of skeletal calcarenite and calcirudite which mainly replaced by dolomite. This rock unit consists of 3 fossil assemblages including Bentic foraminifera (Ammobaculites subcretaceous, Pseudocyclammina littus), Calpionnellids (Calpionella alpina, Tintinnopsella carpathica) and Calcareous green algae (Otternstellaanici Yilmaz Cayeuixia sp). Based on paleontological studies, Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian for first and second portions and Tithonian-Lower Valanginian for fourth portion are porposed.
