Abstract
From Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous strata in the Kerman area fourteen chondrichthyan taxa were identified. The abundance of chondrichthyan teeth in Famennian strata is considerable. The high abundance of protacrodonts and larger proportion of shallower shelves of pheobodonts appeared to dominate in a shallow environment at the Famennian. The chondricthyan assemblage from the Famennian of the Hutk section resembles the Chahriseh fauna in Esfahan district that reveals similar palaeoenvironmental conditions in Central Iran basin. The occurrence of Deihim mansureae in duplicate Zone marks the youngest record for the species up to Early Tournaisian.
