Description
Summary:In this paper we present the first record of well preserved specimens of Gitolampas subrotundus (Cotteau, 1856) from the Late Paleocene of Iran (Jorasan Razavi county, northeast Iran). the detailed biostratigraphic and calcareous nannofossils investigations were carried out on a stratigraphic section in Chehel Formation. this study extends the palaeogeographical distribution of Late Paleocene echinids along the northern tethyanmargins. the investigated fossiliferous section is compared with coeval strata from other european regions.
