Abstract

Conodonts found for the first time in eastern Iran (the Bage-Vang section) are characterized. Beds with conodonts also yield fusulinids that is suitable for refining correlation of conodont and fusulinid zonations. Stratigraphic ranges of different conodont species in the Bage-Vang section are correlated with those in the Luodian section (South China), where conodonts are also accompanied by fusulinids. As a result, some previous inferences concerning position of the Guadalupian Series base in the Tethyan sections are refined.
