thirteen species of rugose corals, belonging to nine genera are described from the givetian and lower frasnian rocks of thekhoshyeilagh formation in the eastern alborz mountains (northeastern iran). glossophyllum ceratites (goldfuss), glossophyllum sp.,keriophyllum cf. maillieuxi (tsien), pseudozaphrentis sp., temnophyllum imperfectum coen-aubert, temnophyllum occidentale hilland jell, temnophy...

members of the family laccophyllidae are small, solitary rugose corals with stratigraphic ranges from silurian to permian. among the laccophyllids, axial ends of major septa are united in an aulos and dissepiments may be absent or present. minor septa can be contratingent and sometimes are small or in some genera are absent. septa and aulos may be thick or thin. in this study, famennian rugose ...

conodonts of khoshyeilagh formation, the most complete section of devonian rocks in the alborz mountains, northern iran, has been studied, and subspecies of the genera icriodus, bipennatus, polygnathus, pelekysgnathus, ancyrodella, palmatolepis, bispathodus, scaphignathus, clydagnathus, gnathodus, scaliognathus and dollymae have been obtained from the studied section. the faunas indicate an eif...

Fragmentary, indifferently preserved, and of low diversity plant remains occur in basal part of the Khoshyeilagh Formation, northern Shahrud, eastern Alborz Ranges. The oldest hitherto reported from Iran, the remains are essentially assignable to lycophytes and psilophytes. Additionally, spores retrieved from the Khoshyeilagh Formation with reference to available data on spore-plant relation-sh...

The Palaeozoic rock units mainly, Ghelli, Niur, Padeha, Khoshyeilagh and Mobark formations are well-exposed in the north of Robat-e Gharabil village. 116 out of 157 surface samples were analyzed to determine aged relationships of Ghelli Formation. The samples of Ghelli Formation are dominated by acritarchs (42 species belonging to 23 genera) and chitinozoans (26 species distributing among 15 ge...
