It shows some increasing and decreasing trends mainly observed in Shurijeh (Neocomian, start of Cretaceous), and Aitamir (Cenomanian, start of Upper Cretaceous).

Age of Fahliyan formation in Kuh-e-Surmeh section is Neocomian due to existing fossil association.
According to fossil assemblage above and also based on biozonation of Gollesstaneh [10], "Pseudocyclammina lituus-Dukhania Arabica-Algal zone ll" biozone, was offered for Fahliyan Formation in this section which indicated Neocomian age for this formation's sediments.
Nyuni 2 will appraise a location updip from the gas discovered in the Nyuni 1 exploration well in Albian/Aptian (Late Lower Cretaceous age) sands as well as testing the underlying Neocomian (Earliest Lower Cretaceous age) sands.
The Neocomian aged sands expected to be intersected by Nyuni 2 are the main reservoir sands at the Songo Songo Gas Field and at the Kiliwani North Gas Field (Bounty: 5% interest) located on Songo Songo Island 20 km south of Nyuni Island.
Neocomian to Albian age has been assigned to this formation.
The Tanychorinae Rasnitsyn, 1975 (five genera and 11 species) were dominant during the
Neocomian (Townes 1973; Rasnitsyn 1975, 1980; Zhang 1991; Zhang & Rasnitsyn 2003; Kopylov 2010a).
The well log show eight metres of net oil pay in the
Neocomian sandstone reservoir at true vertical depths of 660 to 668 metres.
With an unconformity in the Berriasian, fluvial siliciclastic sandstones and coarser sediments interfingering with shallow water carbonates and shales characterise the
Neocomian (Berriasian to Early Aptian).
