Abstract :
In this research, the deposits of the Oligocene-Miocene Qom Formation in Kuh-e Charkheh (Natanz), Western Zefreh and Varton sections, northeastern Isfahan were studied. According to the field observations and thin section analysis in Carbonate part of the mentioned sections, 8 microfacies were identified, which were deposited from shallow part of lagoon to open marine and the sedimentary environment of 3 sections due to absence of reef and presence of bioclastic barrier and absence of spillage, the homoclinal carbonate ramp was detected. According to the sequence stratigraphic studies, each of the studied sections has two 3rd sequences. In Kuh-e Charkheh section, both sequences include of TST and HST, which are separated by sequence boundary SB2. In the western Zefreh section, the first sequence includes of TST and HST that is separated from the second sequence (include of LST, TST and HST) with sequence boundary SB1. In the Varton section, the first sequence is aggredation type and separated from the second sequence, which include TST and HST by a sequence boundary SB2.
