Facies, depositional environments, and sequence stratigraphy analysis of the upper Barremian-lower Aptian carbonates in the northeast Kelardasht, N Iran

We infer that relative sea-level changes and climate played a deeply influential role in the platform evolution and its geometry on the base of facies analysis, vertical transition of fauna, diagenetic overprints, accompanied by stacking patterns and geometries, and correlation of the depositional sequences.
