    Annotation The upper Triassic and lower Cretaceous sediments within the Euphrates graben are one of the most important oil and gas reservoirs to the east of Syria. Based on sedimentological investigations of core materials using the methods of the optical and scanning electron microscopes SEM, accompanied with EDS and XRD analyses. Four major lithofacies have been detected within the upper Triassic sediments, these include; 1). Sandstone bodies lithofacies (Sst-1); the sediments of this lithofacies are up to 60 m in thickness, composed of medium to coarse-grained sandstones with clay material content up to 10%, the sediments of this lithofacies are interpreted as meandering rivers deposits. 2) Claystone lithofacies (Cls-1); these include several types of sublithofacies, and interpreted as floodplains deposits, 3) Dolomite and dolomitic claystone lithofacies (DClst-1); they are interpreted as lagoonal deposits formed in brackish water environments. Two major lithofacies have been detected in the lower Cretaceous sediments, these include; 1) Claystone lithofacies (Cls-2); form intervals of 1 to 10 m thickness, and has medium to moderate dark gray colors, the origin of the claystone is thought to be as deposition in moderately saturated environments with oxygen, marine or estuarial conditions of a low marsh. 2) Sandstone bodies lithofacies (Sst-2); several sublithofacies are detected among this lithofacies, and all of them are interpreted as sediments formed under the conditions of delta to coastal marine sediments.
