Abstract

The sedimentological study of five geological sections in the Upper Cretaceous deposits, exposed in northern Al-Baer-Basit which located beneath the ophiolitic cover, revealed the presence of four intermediate sedimentary sequences in the Turonian-Senonian deposits: regressive, transgressive-neutral, regressive-regressive and transgressive. These sedimentary sequences are related to sea level changes and the uplift of the bottom of the sedimentary basin because of ophiolitic obduction in northwestern of Syria. During the Turonian-Senonian, the sedimentation environments ranged from subtidal in the open sea to supratidal to even continental environments, in which sediments are rich in detrital were dominant
