abstract

rhaetian strata from the nayband formation of the tabas block, east- central iran, were studied palynologically. the materialexamined contained moderately diverse and well-preserved dinoflagellate cyst assemblages which lead to the identification ofrhaetogonyaulax rhaetica zone. the assigned age of this dinozone (rhaetian) is justified by plant fossils such as equisetitesarenaceus, scytophyllum persicum, pterophyllum bavieri, pterophyllum aequale and nilssoniopteris musafolia recorded from thesestrata. the dinoflagellate cysts show close similarities with assemblages reported from australia, northwest europe, arctic canadaand northern iran. furthermore, the associated marine palynomorphs (dinoflagellate cysts), accompanied by spores grain indicate anearshore depositional environment for the late triassic (rhaetian) deposits in tabas block of iran.

Algae (Dasycladales) from the Upper Triassic Nayband Formation (northeast Iran)

Dasycladales are relatively abundant in the bedded limestones of the Bidestan and Howz-e Khan members of the Late Triassic Nayband Formation in central Iran. In a locality south of the town of Naybandan (northwest of Dig-e Rostam), several Rhaetian dasycladacean algae were found in thin sections. The following taxa are described: Diplopora phanerospora Pia, Naybandoporella rhaetica nov. gen. no...

Geohistory Analysis of the Tabas Block (Abdoughi-Parvadeh Basins) as Seen from the Late Triassic through Early Cretaceous Subsidence Curves

The study area is situated in the Middle part of the Tabas Block. It contains outcrops of rocks that formed along longitudinal faults in Early Cimmerian orogenic phase. The basin subsided along these faults from the Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous, which include two sedimentary cycles. A sedimentary cycle, related to Upper Triassic to Bajocian is known as Shemshak group. Another sedimentary c...
