Abstract

Fourteen rock sample from the Lower and Middle parts of Zubair Formation in Zubair wells (109 and 43) Southern Iraq have been subjected to palynological analysis. Microscopic analysis of the sedimentary organic matter of the wells revealed abundant and diverse palynomorphs of (35) species of spores belong to (23) genera, (9) species of pollens belong to (6) genera and (21) species of dinoflagellate cysts belong to (13) genera.Two assemblage palynozones have been also identified based on the index palynomorphs contained in each zone. The age assignment of each palynozone is based on international correlation with Australia, Middle East and Europe countries
