It also showed that the Lower cretaceous rocks rocks consisted of alternations of clayey limestone, dolomitic limy marl and dolomite, with layers of marl and sandstone, with a thickness of 34 m in Khirbat al-Sindiyana, 7 m in Basmalakh, 5 m in Jawbat al-Burghal, 5 m in Kharayeb Salem</p> <p>The study focused on the boundaries of the known stratigraphic gap at the top of the Upper Jurassic and the bottom of the Lower Cretaceous, where fossils of the benthic foraminifera were identified and their temporal distribution was studied at the local and global levels. We found important species that were not previously mentioned in the studied area.</p>}, number={6}, journal={Tishreen University Journal -Basic Sciences Series}, author={عبد الله عبد الكريم and البب سامر and حمدو وردينان}, year={2022}, month={Jan.}, pages={73–92} }
