Shiranish Formation in both Smaquli and Rawanduz sections is composed of an alternation of marly limestones, limestone and marl beds with fissile shale beds. Depend on color, lithology and other sedimentological criteria during field observations of the studied sections, the Shiranish Formation is divided lithologically into lower, middle and upper units. Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Mudstone Microfacies (Shf1), Lime Wackestone (Shf2) and Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Packstone Microfacies (Shf3) have been defined as three distinct microfacies with four submicrofacies ((Keeled Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Wackestone submicrofacies (Shf2b), Globular Chamber Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Wackestone submicrofacies (Shf2a), Bioclastic Lime Wackestone submicrofacies (Shf2c), Planktonic Foraminiferal Lime Wackestone submicrofacies (Shf2d)). The major microfacies in both sections was lime wackestone which is dominated in middle and upper units in both sections. Sedimentological and paleontological evidences suggest that the Formation was deposited in the outer shelf setting and progressed to the upper bathyal setting, in addition to that the microfacies changed from packstone to mudstone meaning deeping upward sequence.
