Sciences at the College of Science discussed the Master&#8217;s thesis submitted by student Kucher Farid Ibrahim Ahmed, entitled &#8220;Biostratigraphy of Foraminifera and the Paleoecological Environment of the Kolosh Formation in the Smaquli Area (Gali Section), Sulaymaniyah Region, Northeast Iraq.&#8221; The discussion was attended by the Dean of the College of Science, Professor Dr. Hayam Adel Ibrahim Al-Tai, the Assistant Dean for Scientific Affairs, Dr. Rayan Mazen Al-Obaidi, the Head of the Department of Earth and Petroleum Sciences, Assistant Professor Dr. Omar Khaloq Mohammed Sajid, and a number of faculty members and graduate students.<\/p>\n<p>The current study aims to conduct a taxonomic, stratigraphic, and phylogenetic study of the foraminifera communities of the Kolosh Formation.<\/p>\n<p>Samples were collected from the Kolosh Formation rocks, and the spacing between samples was determined based on changes in lithological characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>The relative age and paleoecological environment of the Kolosh Formation were determined.<\/p>\n<p>The study recommends&#8230; The current study involves conducting sedimentary and chemical studies in large areas of the formation or areas where the formation is widespread in Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion committee was chaired by Professor Dr. Nasreen Malallah Aziz, with members Professor Dr. Omar Ahmed Mawloud Al-Badrani, Lecturer Dr. Rana Abdul-Ilah Mahmoud, and Assistant Professor Dr. Abdullah Sultan Shihab Ahmed, who also served as supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>We wish the student success and the
