Devonian vertebrate biostratigraphy of central IranWA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years agoAbstract - Middle to Late Devonian fish faunas are known from different parts of central Iran. These faunas comprise thelodonts, acanthodians, actinopterygians, chondrichthyans, sarcopterygians, thelodonts and placoderrns which are predominantly found in marine deposits. This study surveys previous and current work done on the biostratigraphy of micro and macro vertebrates from ten localities. These localities are: Soh limestone beds, north of Esfahan (hemiansatus to Early and Middle varcus Zones); Ab-e-Morad, Chanaruh (Bidou), Hutk and Tangile-ab-Garm (Ravar) localities in Kerman Province (Early varcus Zone to Early Frasnian); Chahriseh area of northeastern Esfahan (probably Late Givetian or Early Frasnian, jamieae, crepida to rhomboidea and postera to expansa Zones); Howz-e-Dorah and Niaz sections at the Shotori Range, Tabas region (falsiovalis, linguiformis, crepida, expansa to Middle praesulcata Zones); and the Garigoon Mountains in the Dalmeh area, northeastern Ardekan (triangularis to crepida and postera to Early expansa Zones). Faunal assemblages with their age constraints from these localities are described throughout the Bahram, Shishtu and other equivalent Formations. Author(s) V. Hairapetian, M. Yazdi and J.A.
