The Upper Cretaceous thick bedded succession in Badamouyeh Mountain in Honooj area shows the Late Cenomanian-Santonian stages. Also, these deposits are well exposed in the south-west of Bibihayat and south of Cheshmah gaz village. In the studied section, Lower and Upper Honooj green marls (informal) with intercalation of Exogyroferous shaly limestone are overlain by thick bedded limestones and in turn cover the Jurassic shales and sandstones (probably Hojedk Formation) with disconformity. The presences of both platycopid and podocopid ostracods, high diverse assemblages of foraminifera and macrofossils in Honooj marls and also high diverse assemblages of benthonic foraminifera in upper limestone show a favorable condition during the deposition of the strata.
