The carbonate succession of the Tirgan Formation was studied in the Gelian section located 25 km south of Shirvan town (central Kopet Dagh). In this section, the Tirgan Formation contains a rich assemblage of calcareous algae and foraminifera. Based mainly on the orbitolinid association a latest Barremian-ealy Aptian age was assigned to the Tirgan Formation in the Gelian section. Based on the available stratigraphic analyses and age assignments of the overlying Sarcheshmeh Formation by different authors, one should presume that both the Tirgan and the Sarcheshmeh formations are heterochronous across the Kopet Dagh basin.

The Lower Cretaceous benthic Limestone in Yazd Block (Central Iran zone) is known as the Taft and Shahkuh Formations. In this study, the age of the Taft and Shahkuh Formation, is examined based on biostratigraphic and paleontological investigations of Taft Formation in sections of Herisht (NE Ardakan) and Abanbar (NE Ardakan) and Shahkuh Formation in Chahpalang section (North Ardakan). According to the lithostratigraphic investigations, the taft and Shahkuh Formation in these sections include of thin bedded to medium bedded and massive limestone. Micropaleontology study of the Taft and Shahkuh Formation has led to the recognition of numerous genus and species which belong to Orbitolinidae Families such as:

“…In the Barremian and Aptian, it is associated with Salpingoporella dinarica, a species endemic to the southern Tethyan Domain. I. inopinata seems missing in other regions of the southern Tethyan and Eurasian (northern Tethyan) domains, for example in central Iran (Bucur et al 2012) and the Kopet Dagh (Taherpour Khalil Abad et al 2010). This is another case of species-specific endemism of certain dasycladalean alga.…”

Iranella inopinata gen. and sp. nov. was first described in the unpublished thesis of Gollestaneh (1965), as an incertae sedis from the Lower Cretaceous carbonate rocks of the Zagros fold-thrust belt. More recently, the taxon was formally, although provisionally described by Hosseini and Conrad (Geol Croat 61:215-237, 2008), as a dasycladalean alga named Salpingoporella? inopinata. Here, based on the interpretation of quite-abundant although scattered fragments, it is assigned to Iranella, a large-sized, stalked, and capitulum-shaped new genus of Dasycladales. The lower, stalked part of the thallus is cylindrical, strongly calcified, with first-order laterals only, while the large capitulum is only partly calcified, showing one or two orders of laterals. Traces of cysts (reproductive organs) are present in the basal stalk, either in the stipe or the laterals. Iranella inopinata looks to be endemic to the southwestern part of the Tethyan realm, in the Zagros area and also south of the Persian Gulf. In the Zagros Mts., it extends from the Berriasian to the Aptian, with an Acme Zone in the Valanginian. Sequential interpretation proves the presence of this species in the late transgressive and early highstand stages of system tracts, and reveals a lowenergy, restricted, lagoonal or back-reef depositional environment, in an inner-platform setting.
