Ostracode Research Activities in IRAQCorrespondent: --open--
Al-Jumaily, Wajih A.K. I continue as a member of the Department of Geology staff, Unviersity of Nasir, Al-Khoms City, Libya. I attended the Frist Earth Science Conference held in Benghazi, Libia, on November 22-24, 1998 and presented a paper, "Palaeozoogeography of shallow marine Ostracoda from Holocene sediments, Southern Iraq" (with Dr. S. S. Al-Sheikhly). While attending the Geological Conference on Exploration in Murzuq Basin, in Sabha-Libya on September 20-22, 1998, I was very happy to meet Prof. A. Seilacher and Prof. E. Klitzsch. I am currently working on Quaternary Ostracoda and Foraminifera from the Gargarish Formation (Quaternary) from the coast of Libya. I am also working on Miocene Ostracoda and benthic foraminifera from Ras-Abd-al-Jalil Foramtion (offshore, Az-Zawiyah, Libya). This is a joint study with Ms. Luila S. Hafed, Petroleum Research Centre, Tripoli, Libya. I have two research students: Mr. Omar M. Abd-al-Salam and Mr. Yehya S. Abu-Jenah, who are studying aspects of the palynofacies and palynological study of some Jurassic sediments in the Gharian area of Libya. Other work I am involved in includes work on the genetic differentiation in Cyprideis torosa, with Dr. Ammar M. Saleh (Microbiology unit, University of Nasir.
Al-Khashab, Sanad A. I am in the last year of my PhD research. Lower Cretaceous formations like Zubair, Garagu, and Zangura have been investigated. Presently, more than 90 species have been found belonging to genera like Cytherella, Cytherelloidea, Bairdia, Paraycypris, Pontocyprella, Metacytheropteron, Eocytheropteron, Cythereis, Rehacythereis, Isocythereis, Protobuntonia, Dolocytheridea, Asciocythere, Centrocythere, Neocythere, Paijenborchillina, Macrocypris, Matronella, and Veenia.
