First discovery of nautilids from the Albian–Cenomanian succession of the Koppeh Dagh Basin, NE Iran
The Aitamir Formation, situated in the Koppeh Dagh Basin in the northeast of Iran, is known for its well-exposed Albian-to-Cenomanian succession. Although geologists previously documented a number of macro- and microfossils, no nautilids had been ...
