Algae (Dasycladales) from the Upper Triassic Nayband Formation (northeast Iran)
author
Abstract:
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. nov. sp., Naybandoporella cf. rhaetica. The species Probolocuspis sarmeikensis Senowbari-Daryan is replaced and attributed to the genus Naybandoporella. The microfacies characteristics of the limestones as well as the associated organisms are mentioned.Key words: Algae, Dasycladales, Naybandoporella, Upper Triassic, Nayband Formation, Iran

Ichnotaxonomic analysis of trace fossil assemblages of the Upper Triassic Nayband Formation, Tabas Block, Central Iran
This study includes a thorough systematic analysis of the ichnological record in the Late Triassic siliciclastic Nayband Formation of the Tabas Block, Central Iran. A total of 48 ichnospecies representing 28 ichnogenera are identified and their preservation aspects, paleoecological aspects, producers and behavioral aspects are discussed. The ichnofauna includes Arenicolites, Asterosoma, Bergaue...
full textreview of four genera of calcareous algae from upper triassic bidestan and howz-e khan members of the nayband formation (southeastern nayband mount)
for the study of upper triassic calcareous algae, four sections from the bidestan and howz-e khan members of the nayband formation, exposed in the southeast area of the nayband mountain were measured and sampled. to obtain the variation of algae, additional scattered samples were collected from this region. algal carbonate layer, rich of dasycladales was recovered in the howz-e khan member. aft...
full textDinoflagellate cysts from the Upper Triassic (Rhaetian) strata of the Tabas Block, East - Central Iran
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...
full textDasycladales Morphogenesis: The Pattern Formation Viewpoint
The Dasycladalian algae produce diverse whorled structures, among which the best-known are the reproductive whorl (cap) and the vegetative whorls (hair whorls) of Acetabularia acetabulum. The origin of these structures is addressed in terms of three pattern forming mechanisms proposed to explain whorl formation. The mechanisms involve either: mechanical buckling of the cell wall, reaction-diffu...

The Upper Cretaceous strata were studied in a composite stratigraphic section named here Padeha-Baghak section in east of Koppeh-Dagh basin, north east of Iran. In this study, palynostratigraphy, palynofacies and depositional environment history of Abderaz Formation were integrated with sequence stratigraphy. Determination of sea level history and sequence units of the Abderaz Formation using s...
