Abstract:

Well exposed Famennian, mainly carbonate rocks of the Bahram Formation in the vicinity of Bagher Abad village, Central Iran,yielded chondrichthyan teeth some sarcopterygii and actinopterygii teeth and fragments. Three different genera were recognizedamong the chondrichthyan teeth represented by: Phoebodus turnerae, Ph. spp., Deihim mansureae (M2, M3), Stethacanthus sp..Acanthodian and sarcopterygians teeth and fragments include: Dipnoi indet., Onychodonthid tooth?, Osteichthyes bone andPaleonisciformes indet. This assemblage recovered from a shallow shelf environment on the northern margin of Gondwana during LateDevonian time.

JUVENILE GASTROPODS FROM THE UPPER DEVONIAN CEPHALOPOD BEDS AND ADJACENT STRATA OF CENTRAL IRAN

Microgastropod fauna from the Upper Devonian Cephalopod Bed and overlying Lower Tournaisian strata of the original reference section of the Shishtu Formation have been examined. Twenty genera and one unknown genus have been identified. The original aragonite shells have been replaced either by pyrite or fluorapatite

UPPER DEVONIAN ACRITARCHS AND MIOSPORES FROM THE GEIRUD FORMATION IN CENTRAL ALBORZ RANGE, NORTHERN IRAN

The Geirud Formation consists mainly of clastic sediments which are interbedded with limestone stringers. This rock unit is well-exposed along the Central Alborz Range in northern Iran. The Geirud Formation rests unconformably on the Mila Formation (Upper Cambrian) and is conformably overlain by the Mobarak Formation (Lower Carboniferous). This study was undertaken to determine the geologi...

A Late Devonian isoetalean lycopsid, Otzinachsonia Beerboweri, gen. et sp. nov., from north-central Pennsylvania, USA.

Compressions and impressions of an isoetalean lycopsid, comprising lower portions of stems, lobed bases, attached rootlets, and rounded rootlet scars, discovered in Late Devonian (Famennian) rocks of Clinton County, north-central Pennsylvania, Appalachian Basin, USA, are here described as Otzinachsonia beerboweri, gen. et sp. nov. These specimens demonstrate unequivocally the existence of the i...

Exceptional preservation of nerve and muscle tissues in Late Devonian placoderm fish and their evolutionary implications.

In this paper, we show exceptional three-dimensionally preserved fossilized muscle tissues in 380-384 Myr old placoderm fish (Late Devonian), offering new morphological evidence supporting the hypothesis that placoderms are the sister group to all other gnathostomes. We describe the oldest soft tissue discovered in gnathostomes, which includes striated muscle fibres, circulatory and nerve tissu...

Alborziphyllinae, A New Late Devonian Rugose Corals Subfamily

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...
