Abstract

The studied sections are located in southwestern of central Iran. Main lithology of these sections are including shale, sandstone and limestone. Four biozones had been recognized base on Conodont. That contain Idiognathodus delicates Zone, Streptognathodus oppletus Zone, Sweetognathus whitei Zone. And Neostreptognathodus pequopensis Zone. Based on recognized conodont, the age reveal for Sardar Formation is Bashkirian- early Gzhelian and the Permian deposits are Artinskian (khan formation age equivalent). In this sections Carboniferous- Permian boundary has been seen paraconformity. Comparison this area with neighborhood showed after Kasimovian  we have upward and erosion in these areas and with started melting due to glacial epoch  in lower Permian so these areas covered with water although we have shallow basin comparable with another areas in Central Iran.
