Sažetak
Jihar-1 and Jihar-2 exploration well, located in Palmyrides region in Syria, was drilled hroughout Eocene and Oligocene sediments. Results of detailed micropaleontological and lithological analyses have been carried out. The biostratigraphy of the sediment succession is analysed by means of planktonic foraminifera. As all analyses have been done from drill-cuttings, biostratigraphical boundary is based on last occurrence of the taxa. From Lower Eocene to the end of Late Eocene sedimentation took place in basinal to deep outer shelf environment. Rich and highly diversified assemblages of foraminiferal association suggest Mediterranean bioprovince with tropical to subtropical climate and open deep sea environment. Microfossil association is most diversified during Middle Eocene. In Oligocene, the most planktonic species were replaced by small benthonic foraminiferal species in according to climate change and shalowing of the sedimentation environment.
