BITNER, Maria Aleksandra et al. New records of brachiopods from the Lower Miocene deposits of the Qom Formation of the Isfahan province, Central Iran. Bol. Soc. Geol. Mex [online]. 2023, vol.75, n.2, A010523.  Epub 07-Jun-2024. ISSN 1405-3322.  https://doi.org/10.18268/bsgm2023v75n2a010523.

The study presents new records of brachiopods from the Lower Miocene deposits of the Qom Formation from two sections, Bagh and Ramsheh in the Isfahan province, Central Iran. Three species, i.e. Argyrotheca bitnerae, Joania cordata, and Platidia anomioides, have been identified in the investigated material. All species are present in the Bagh section whereas in the material from Ramsheh A. bitnerae was not found. Although the species recognized here were already described from the Miocene of the Qom Formation, this is their first report from the localities of Bagh and Ramsheh, providing new data on the distribution of brachiopods in the Cenozoic of Iran.
