Abstract
The study of the conodont fauna from the Bahram Formation in the Sar-e-Ashk section provides new data on the stratigraphy
of this unit in the Kerman Province, Central-East Iran. The study area is located in the southwestern part of the Central-East Iran Microplate.
The fauna consists of thirteen species and four taxa in open nomenclature, mainly belonging to the genera Icriodus and Polygnathus, and
allows to date the Bahram Formation in the studied section as Frasnian. The shallow water conodont biofacies confirms an inner shelf to
foreshore depositional environment for the unit.
