data-src-align=\"0:257\">The Department of Earth and petroleum sciences at the Faculty of science at Mosul University discussed, on Thursday, September 10, 2026, the master thesis tagged \u201d sedimentary study and tectonic status of the formation sequences of the opening in the southern flank of the Mateen fold, northern Iraq, \u201d submitted by researcher Shirin Hussein Haji Mohammed.<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"266:256\">The aim of the study was to determine the depositional environment and the sedimentary basin of the vent formation, which dates back to the Middle Miocene, as well as the characterization of sedimentary rock formations, microscopic formations and the depositional environment, study the tectonic evolution of the formation and assess the impact of tectonic activity on sedimentation processes.<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"526:19\">The study included the analysis<\/span> <span

of these analyzes, six main microscopic fragments were distinguished, which contributed to the explanation of the depositional environment and the geological evolution of the formation.<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"733:33\">The study recommended conducting engineering studies<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"767:7\">of the area<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"775:4\">for<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"780:128\">the purpose of determining the risks of collapses, as well as conducting subsurface studies to identify and derive subsurface faults affecting the depositional environment of the formation.<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"922:8\">The discussion<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"917:4\">Committee<\/span> <span class=\"YPkS7KbdpWfGdYKd3QB9\" data-src-align=\"912:4\">was
