keywords = {The Binalud Mountains of NE Iran represent
the easternmost extension of the Alborz Range. After
the Mid-Cimmerian orogenic event and rapid subsidence;
the deep marine sediments of the Dalichai Formation
were deposited. A well-preserved section of the
formation was sampled for palynological purposes. The
study revealed diverse and nearly well-preserved dinoflagellate
cyst assemblages. Thirty-six dinoflagellate cyst
species identified lead to identification of four biozones:
Cribroperidinium crispum (Late Bajocian); Dichadogonyaulax
sellwoodii (Bathonian to Early Callovian); Ctenidodinium
continuum (Early to Late Callovian); and
Ctenidodinium tenellum (Early Oxfordian) biozones. The
close similarities of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages between
Binalud Mountains; NE Iran; with those of Alborz Mountains
(Northern Iran) during Middle Jurassic confirm the connection
between two sedimentary basins during this time in Iran.
Meanwhile; this biozonation corresponds largely to that
established in Northwest Europe and reveals the marine connection
between NE and North of Iran with Northwest Europe
and the Northwestern Tethys during the Late Bajocian to Early
Oxfordian.},
