To perform the planned project, you have to know the exposures of the Oligocene rocks in Duhok. Since the already existing geological maps show no Oligocene rocks as outcrops, and to study the Oligocene rocks, as planned, then how you will sample the rocks to study them?
No, I dont think so, from majority of the Kurdistan Region, when me and Dr. Saffa were checking and updating the geological maps (2006 - 2013), we noticed that between the Pila Spi and Fatha formations, there is a special succession which includes Oligocene rocks and probably the Euphrates Formation too. But, since all those ares were mapped using aerial photographs in late eighties of the last century; therefore, it was impossible to recognize the mentioned succession. But, this doesn't mean that where ever there is the Pila Spi Formation, there should be Oligocene rocks. This is what I have asked our beloved colleagues Dr. Kamal and Dr. Polla
Dear Dr. Razagar, with all my respect to the Late Dr. Buday, you cannot depend on such old map..... I told you that me and Dr. Saffa have checked almost the whole Kurdistan Region during 2006 - 2013 and amended majority of the geological maps. Have a good day.

I can give a map of Assam India where Oligocene Barail Group of rocks are shown.
Mr. Tapos,
We are discussing how to map the Oligocene rocks in the northern part of Iraq.
