  ABSTRACT: The Paleocene-Eocene successions were studied in Sekonj and Abaregh sections and located in South of Kerman in order to determine the microfacies, depositional environment and sequence stratigraphy. The deposits in the studied area are mainly composed of limestone, sandstone, conglomerate and shale. The obtained data from the field and laboratory observations led to identification of 11 microfacies which represent the coastal, tidal flat, lagoon, barrier and proximal open marine which were deposited in a carbonate-siliciclastic ramp environment. The sedimentology evidences, vertical analysis of microfacies, facies and relative sea level changes represent that the Paleocene-Eocene succession deposits have two 3rd depositional sequences in the studied area. The sequence 2 cannot be recognized completely due to the lack of outcrop. Sequence stratigraphic studies show an upward shallowing trend corresponding to the global sea level changes from the base to the upward of the succession.
