“…Distribution: T. megastoma is an index fossil from the late Tournaisian and early Visean. It is common in the British Isles (Vaughan 1905;Matley and Vaughan 1906;Mitchell 1973;Somerville et al 1986), Iran (Ogar et al 2013), Kuznets Basin and Altai (Dobrolyubova et al 1966), and Himalaya (Wang et al 2003) and less common in the same ages in Belgium (Tourneur et al 1989).…”

A new early Visean coral assemblage has been recorded from turbidite facies in the southern part of the Azrou-Khenifra Basin, northwest of Khenifra, central Morocco. The newly discovered Ba Moussa West (BMW) coral fauna includes Siphonophyllia khenifrense sp. nov., Sychnoelasma urbanowitschi, Cravenia lamellata, Cravenia tela, Cravenia rhytoides, Turnacipora megastoma and Pleurosiphonella crustosa. The early Visean age of the coral assemblage is supported by foraminiferal and conodont data, with the recognition of the basal Visean MFZ9 Zone. This confirms that the first transgression in the Azrou-Khenifra Basin was during the earliest Visean. The allochthonous coral assemblage was recovered from coarse-grained proximal limestone debris flow and turbidite beds within a faultbounded unit, lying to the west of a thrust syncline containing upper Visean limestones. No evidence exists of the former early Visean shallow-water platform from which the corals were derived. All other in situ platform carbonate rocks around the southern margin of the Azrou-Khenifra Basin are probably of late Visean (Asbian-Brigantian) age. The early Visean Ba Moussa West coral fauna can be compared with that at Tafilalt in eastern Morocco, as well as in other Saharian basins of Algeria. Many of the genera and species in the Ba Moussa West assemblage are identical to those in NW Europe, with which it must have had marine connections. The new rugose species described, Siphonophyllia khenifrense, is probably endemic to North Africa. Its ecological niche in NW Europe was occupied by S. cylindrica or S. aff. garwoodi.

“…In the western Danghan area, fossiliferous successions of the Mobarak Formation containing well‐preserved foraminifers, corals and brachiopods have been reported (Falahatgar and Mosaddegh, ). Biostratigraphical studies of the foraminifers (Falahatgar and Mosaddegh, ; Falahatgar et al ., ) and corals (Ogar et al ., ) indicate that the Mobarak Formation in the Kiyasar section ranges from the lower Tournaisian to early‐middle Viséan. In the present paper, we describe a brachiopod fauna collected by Falahatgar from the upper part of the Kiyasar section (Fig.…”

The brachiopods from the upper part of the Mobarak Formation at the Kiyasar section in the eastern Alborz Mountains, northern Iran, have been studied in detail. Fifteen species assigned to 13 genera of Strophomenida, Orthotetida, Orthida, Productida, Athyridida and Spiriferida are described. The fauna is determined as early Viséan in age based on the presence of Eomarginifera paucispinosa, Grandispirifer mylkensis and Unispirifer sp., and their associated foraminifers Uralodiscus, Paraarchaediscus, Glomodiscus and Endothyra, though taxa ranging through the Tournaisian–Viséan are also present. A comparison of its palaeogeographical affinities with other faunas show that the Alborz brachiopod fauna maintains strong Palaeotethyan affinities based on its general similarities with those of Eurasia, North America and Australia. This is suggestive of a prevailing oceanic current that circulated between the northern and southern shelf sea of the Palaeotethys Ocean, with which the warm‐water brachiopod taxa were widespread in the Palaeotethyan Realm through the early Viséan.
