Location and geological map of studied area (Baziany, 2006). Baziany (2006) studied the former Qulqula Conglomerate Formation in Sulaimani Governorate in detail and mentioned for the first time numerous well-preserved larger foraminifera Nummulites and Alveolina in the milky pebbles of the conglomerates. He also recognized a clear angular unconformity between the former Qulqula Conglomerate Formation and the underlying Qulqula Radiolarian Formation. He changed the age of the formation from Cenomanian-Santonian to younger than Eocene. Karim and Baziany, (2007) studied the Qulqula Conglomerate Formation and Red Bed Series at the type area (Qulqula Gorge), NE-Iraq, and they recognized large forams like Alveolina and Nummulite and determined the age of former Qulqula Conglomerate Formation from Paleocene- Eocene.
