Where: Iran (36.8° N, 55.3° E: paleocoordinates 36.5° S, 100.9° E)
When: Tilabad Member (Khoshyeilagh Formation), Givetian (387.7 - 382.7 Ma)
• Given as Lower Carbonate member, which is now Tilabad (Wendt et al. 2005. Acta Geologica Polonica 55:31-97; p. 44).
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; limestone and shale
•shales, dolomites and marls. The limestones are mainly skeletal, being interbedded by frequent thin layers of marls and shales in the lower parts of the section. The coral fauna comes from the limestone beds of these parts.
•Towards the upper parts of the section, the limestones are mostly brecciated and more or less poor in rugose corals.
Size class: macrofossils
