Abstract

Bahram Formation equivalent sequence in the Baghin area spans late Givetian to late Frasnian age. Thirty-two species and subspecies are identified. Ancyrodella alata, An. pristina, Polygnathus aspelundi, P. aequalis, P. subincompletus,P. politus, Icriodus alternatus alternatus, I. iowaensis iowaensis are of important species. The presence of An. pristina and An. alata in the lower part of Bahram Formation in this section shows the late Givetian marine transgression. Five conodont biozones are recognized on the basis of stratigraphic ranges of species: Lower to Upper falsiovalis zones; transitans to punctata zones; Lower hassi to jamieae zones; Lower rhenana Zone; and Upper rhenana to ?linguiformis zones.
