    Annotation Mulussa F foпnation is one of the important geological foпnations constituting the Mulussa group in Syria. The objective of this research is to review of sediments Mulussa F foпnation. Its deposits contain almost 50% of hydrocarbon potential through Euphrates Graben. Boreholes data peпnitted confining the foпnation between two Lithostratigraphic markers and enaЫed its division into three Lithostratigraphic members J\1UF3, J\1UF2, J\1UF1 (from bottom to top). Each member consists of а set of шrits, subшrits and lithologic intervals. Petrology studying provides а precise petrological description of various foпnation members and their Digenetic. Results show that the members of the structшe are composed of continental detrital sediments made up of clay stones (Kaolinite/Illite) and Shale/Dolomitic claystone, covered Ьу intervals of quartz sandstones, clay sandstones, and silt sandstones. The carbonate sediments are absent from the foпnation Illite it's base which consists of Dolomitic claystone and its top which are close to carbonate composition. This sediment of those members spread out as repeated or hannonic alterations whose faces gradients reflect transgression and regression sequences. Due to the historical value of Mulussa F foпnation, it is vital to investigate its sediment status. The study of these sediments leads to represent naпow baпiers near river mouth with meandering channels and limited coastal deposits.
