Fortran is one of several under-documented babel languages (see http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages.html). There is a template for users willing to start a first draft of the fortran or other language documentation (see http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages.html#develop).
