All samples taken from outcrops in Duhok and Sulaymaniyah provinces and well Bj-1 in northern Iraq were classified as palynofacies Type I (PF-1), which comprises mainly amorphous organic matter (AOM). The samples were deposited in a distal suboxic-anoxic basin and their organic matter (OM) is considered as Type II kerogen. Samples from well Jk-1 were interpreted as palynofacies Type II (PF-2) having mixed AOM and phytoclasts. These samples were deposited in a distal dysoxic-anoxic shelf basin and their organic matter is classified as Type II kerogen.en10.3176/oil.2019.2.05info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesspalynofacies analysisNaokelen Formationamorphous organic matterphytoclastsArticle362318336Q3WOS:000470019700005Q2
