University of Isfahan Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches 2008-7888 27 3 2011 10 23 Marine Palynomorphs (Acritarchs) of Late Devonian in Shazadeh Mohammad area, Kerman Marine Palynomorphs (Acritarchs) of Late Devonian in Shazadeh Mohammad area, Kerman 69 82 16755 FA Journal Article 2016 06 14     Abstract   Padeha and Bahram formations of Shahzadeh Mohammad area are 597m in thickness that contain well – preserved and abundant palynomorphs consisting of acritarchs, miospores, chitinozoans and scolecodonts. In this paper, acritarchs taxa are presented only. These include : Chomotriletes vedugensis, Gorgonisphaeridium abstrusum, Gorgonisphaeridium   comdensum Gorgonisphaeridium sp., Lophosphaeridium deminutum, Maranhites perplexus, Papulogobata annulata, Naivifusa exilis, Stellinium micropolygonale, Stellium comptum, Deltotosoma intonsum, Dictyotidium prolatum, Helosphaeridium microclavatum, Somphophragma miscellum, Tornacia sarjeantii and Veryhachum downiei, . These marine palynomorph taxa suggest a Late Devonian for these two rock units in the Kerman province.   These acritarch taxa are comparable to those have reported from the Late Devonian (Frasnian - Famenian) of other parts of Iran (Alborz, Zagros and Central Iranian basins) and elsewhere (Saudi Arabia, southern Europe, Australia and North Africa). On the other hand, based on parasinophyte taxa a shallow marine environment is suggested for depositional environment of the Upper Devonian strata in the Shahzadeh Mohammad area, northern Kerman province.        Abstract   Padeha and Bahram formations of Shahzadeh Mohammad area are 597m in thickness that contain well – preserved and abundant palynomorphs consisting of acritarchs, miospores, chitinozoans and scolecodonts.
