Abstract
The Tirgan Formation Barremian — Aptian is exposed in the Kopet Dagh in northeast Iran Two stratigraphic sections in Radkan and Chenaran were measured Their thickness are 238 m and 119 m respectively This formation in measured sections consists of three parts including lower carbonate middle limy shale — marl and upper carbonate rocks Based on study of 164 thinsections 15 carbonate and 2 siliciclastic lithofacies have been identified Carbonate lithofacies are deposited in a ramp platform in fore shoal shoal lagoon and tidal flat environments Sea level changes during lower Cretaceous led to the formation of different largescale depositional sequences Radkan two and Chenaran two respectively The present study highlights the reconstruction of tectonic history of the area during lower Cretaceous
