Full TextAbstract
The Khoshyeilagh Formation in the Eastern Alborz Mountains (north-eastern Iran) consists of rocks ranging from the Givetian to the Tournaisian. We here describe a collection of Givetian solitary rugose corals from the type section of this formation. Among the reported taxa, four species are assigned to Spinophyllum WEDEKIND, 1922, including S. zhongguoense (HE, 1978), S. blacourti (ROHART, 1988), S. longiseptatum (LÜTTE, 1984), and S. arduum (LÜTTE, 1985). The genus Temnophyllum WALTHER, 1929 is represented by T. occidentale HILL & JELL, 1970, T. sp. 1, and T. sp. 2. Furthermore, Chostophyllum metula PEDDER, 1982, C. gregorii ETHERIDGE, 1892, Aristophyllum luetti COEN-AUBERT, 1997, Glossophyllum ceratites (GOLDFUSS, 1826) and G. cf. schouppei LÜTTE, 1990 are recorded.
