Late Devonian Fish micro-remains from Central Iran

Abstract

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