Abstract

Hojedk section is located 62 km north of Kerman. In this section Padeha Formation with Middle Devonian age overlies Bahram Formation conformably, and it is covered with Jamal Formation (Late Permian) with a disconformity boundary. The study of Bahram Formation brachiopoda resulting into 32 species and subspecies consists of: Schizophoria striatula, Schizophoria cf. iowaensis, Devonoproductus sp., Productella cf. subaculeata, Strophodonta sp., Cyphoterorhynchus koraghensis, Cyphoterorhynchus koraghensis interpositus, Ripidiorhynchus elburzensis, Ripidiorhynchus kermanensis, Ripidiorhynchus minutissimus, Paropamisrhynchus kotalensis, Lateralatirostrum esfehensis, Spinatrypina chitralensis, Spinatrypina bodini, Spinatrypina cf. robusta , Desquamatia (Desquamatia) sp., Desquamatia (Serateypa) sp., Athyris chitralensis, Athyris sp., Anathyris e. g. helmersenii, Gypidula sp., Cyrtospirifer verneuili echinosus, Cyrtospirifer kermanensis, Cyrtospirifer schelonicus, Cyrtospirifer sp., Uchtospirifer multiplicatus, Uchtospirifer multiplicatus minor, Tenticospirifer cyrtinaformi, Tenticospirifer cf. tenticulum, Indospirifer sp., Rigauxia hutkensis, Cranaena cf. rigauxi, Based on the biostratigraphical value of the recognized brachiopoda, the age of Bahram Formation in the Hojedk section is determined Early- Late Frasnian.
