Description of Formation SU-22: Sand & Gravel Sandstone

This document provides a lithological log and description of rock formations from a borehole in Iraq from 0-2649 meters depth. It describes the various sedimentary rocks encountered in each formation including limestones, dolomites, shales, marls, sandstones and anhydrites. Key boundaries between different formations are noted along with the depth ranges of different lithologies.
