    The document describes the geologic age, formation, and lithologic description of rock units from the Late Jurassic period in Iraq. It includes the Kimmeridgian epoch which contains the Barsarin formation made of thin bedded dolomite and limestone with black bituminous shales. The Naokelekan formation from the Oxfordian epoch contains hard, thinly bedded fossiliferous dolomitic limestone. The Sargelu formation from the Callovian epoch contains laminated bituminous limestone that alternates with bituminous shales and fine crystalline limestone.
