[43] The described fusulinid collection is sufficiently numerous and diverse, which primarily results from a significantly large studied interval spanning the whole Gzhelian and most of the Asselian Stage. At the same time the small size of the available samples and poor preservation of some shells do not permit the complete enough characteristics of the fusulinid assemblages in certain beds and the reconstruction of their evolution. The Iranian fusulinids are still extremely poorly studied. Therefore, their species identification is significantly difficult, since we have to be oriented to fusulinids from other than central Iran biogeographic provinces. This results in incompletely reliable certain species identifications that we are led to give in an open nomenclature, which in turn produces the non-confident age determinations. Many specimens by convention referred to certain known forms, should be likely recognized as separates species. However, the limited amount of material generally prevents from doing it.
[44] In the discussed part of the section we identified 70 fusulinid species referred to 21 genera and 12 families. Among them six species and one subspecies are new. They are described below (Plates 1-10).
