The aim of this study is to analyze the assemblage of trilobites in the Silurian sequences of Iran by exploring stratigraphic section of the Silurian Niur Formation (Asadli section).  Based on comprehensive field studies and laboratory investigations three Trilobite genera were identified in the study area including Calymene blumenbachii, Gravicalymene convolva, Dalmanites brevigladiolus </...

the sanganeh formation crops out throughout the kopeh-dagh basin and is mainly composed of shale and marl with interbeds of siltstone and limestone. in this study, the sanganeh formation, with 550 meter thickness, has been studied at north of the sanganeh village in eastern parts of the basin. according to distribution of organic matter content, four palynofacies types are identified. the main ...

the sarcheshmeh formation is a shaly sequence of lower cretaceous age (aptian) which is deposited in koppeh-dagh sedimentary basin and conformably overlies and underlies the tirgan and sanghaneh formations respectively in the toos well # 1. lithologically, this formation has a thickness of 177m and consists mainly of marl, shale and shaly limestone. palynological studies resulted in identificat...

the granites south of mashhad are located in the north-east of iran and occur in the suture zone between the binalud and kopeh dagh areas. these s-type granites are peraluminous with an upper triassic age and include intersecting pegmatites. these pegmatites are homogenous and show simple mineralogical combinations which include k-feldspars (microcline and orthoclase), plagioclase, quartz, mica...

A stratigraphic section from the Tirgan Formation was selected in Arkan village nearby Bojnourd city in order to study echinoderm fauna systematically. Many specimens of echinoderms, especially toxasteridae which is associated with brachiopods were collected and studied systematically in this paper. Microscopie slides were also prepared and studied. All slides contain benthic foraminifers and c...
