The Asmari Formation in the studied section is 388 m thick, conformably overlies the Paleocene–Eocene deposits of the Pabdeh Formation and is conformably overlain by the Gachsaran Formation. Nineteen genera and 20 species of benthic foraminifera were recognized in the Asmari Formation. Miliolids were identified only at the order level. The benthic foraminifera are assigned to two assemblage biozones in the formation: the Lepidocyclina spp.-Nummulites fichteli-Nummulites intermedius-Nummulites vascus and Archaias kirkukensis-Archaias asmaricus-Archaias hensoni-Miogypsinoides spp. zones. The biozones show that the studied carbonate succession of the Asmari Formation was deposited during the Rupelian and Chattian. In the late Chattian and Miocene, sea level fall prevented deposition of the Asmari Formation in the Interior Fars Sub-zone and the evaporites and shallow-marine marls of the Gachsaran Formation were deposited during the Miocene.

RESUMO – Os foraminíferos bentônicos dos depósitos carbonáticos oligocênicos da Formação Asmari na seção Hoz-e-Bidmeshk na Subzona Interior de Fars, Cinturão de Zagros, SW do Irã, foram estudados para zonação bioestratigráfica. A Formação Asmari na seção estudada tem 388 m de espessura, sobrepõe-se conformavelmente aos depósitos do Paleoceno–Eoceno da Formação Pabdeh e é conformavelmente sobreposta pela Formação Gachsaran. Foram identificados dezenove gêneros e 20 espécies de foraminíferos bentônicos na Formação Asmari. Os miliolídeos foram identificados apenas em nível de ordem. Os foraminíferos bentônicos foram atribuídos a duas biozonas: as zonas Lepidocyclina spp.-Nummulites fichteli-Nummulites intermedius-Nummulites vascus e Archaias kirkukensis-Archaias asmaricus-Archaias hensoni-Miogypsinoides spp. As biozonas mostram que a sucessão carbonatada estudada da Formação Asmari foi depositada durante o Rupeliano e o Chattiano. No final do Chattiano e no Mioceno, a descida do nível do mar impediu a deposição da Formação Asmari na Subzona de Fars Interior e os evaporitos e margas marinhas pouco profundas da Formação Gachsaran foram depositados durante o Mioceno.

Based on the recovered biotic component, it is considered that the Red Marls of El-Kantara Formation date from the upper Paleocene (Thanetian). Seven species of brackish water (Neocyprideis raoi) and non-marine ostracoda (Frambocythere tumiensis anjarensis, Paracypretta jonesi, Paracypretta verruculosa, Limnocythere deccanensis, Darwinula torpedo and Zonocypris spirula), have been discovered for the first time in Algeria and on the south Tethyan margin. Paleoenvironmentally, the overall biotic assemblage recovered indicates the presence of a freshwater palustrine/lacustrine depositional system connected to a low energy stream/river. This indicates that marginal marine conditions were prevalent in northeastern Algeria’s far inland regions. Paleobiogeographically, the seven known ostracod species have limited distributions that are until now common only with India. However, this disproved the theory that these species are endemic to the Indian Subcontinent, which is confirmed by their association with cosmopolitan charophytes.

The Djebel Azeb section, with a thickness of 40 m, is composed of a clay-marl mass interspersed with lumachellic limestone layers. It makes up the middle part of the ‘’Marnes de Smail’’ Formation. The Turrilites acutus Subzone of the upper part of the Acanthoceras rhotomagense Zone corresponds to the Aspidiscus cristatus Total Range Zone, and the Rotalipora cushmani Zone was recognized based on the study of ammonites, scleractinian and planktic foraminifera in this section. The statistical analysis of the foraminifera yielded only one assemblage of planktic foraminifera with globular chambers and trochospiral test belonging to the Cenomanian–Turonian; no association is typically restricted to the middle Cenomanian. The benthic foraminifera are poorly represented, belonging to the orders Textulariina, Lituolina, Trochamminina, Verneuilinina, Loftusiina, Orbitolinina, Miliolina, and Rotaliina. These foraminifera assemblages indicate that the bottom-water conditions during the middle Cenomanian were characterized by periodic changes in the oxygen and salinity. All planktic foraminifera species are opportunists related to poorly oxygenated, eutrophic conditions interspersed by a short interval of well-oxygenated environment with Planolites. The maximum abundance of Whiteinella and Muricohedbergella and the minimum amount of Planoheterohelix species within the Cenomanian of Djebel Azeb reflect dwindling palaeosalinity during this time, except for a slight increase in the middle of the section.

Therefore, this study reports the first occurrence of trace fossils in the Floriano Formation (Miocene) and suggests more refined paleoenvironmental interpretations for this unit. We only observed ichnofossils in an outcrop on the RJ-161 road in Resende Municipality, Rio de Janeiro State. The deposit represents a floodplain overlayed by a crevasse splay, both sedimented in a meandering fluvial context. Trace fossils of terraphilic organisms – represented by Taenidium isp., Planolites isp. and Arenicolites isp. – were found in the fine-grained sediments of the outcrop. This ichnocoenosis is composed of feeding (fodinichnia), locomotion (repichnia) and/or habitation (domichinia) structures produced by worm-like invertebrates.

This fauna is typical of the Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone, which is correlated to the late Carnian Ischigualasto Formation (Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin) in Argentina. The present study records new fossil remains for the Predebon Site collected in 2001 that consists of two dorsal and two sacral vertebrae referred to the same individual (MCN-PV 10344), and two isolated, serrated blade-shaped teeth (MCN-PV 10425 and 10426). The trunk vertebrae were identified as between 11th and 15th. The sacral vertebrae are fully fused, with no indication of another fused vertebral element, not even signs suggestive of dorsosacral and caudosacral vertebrae, also because the ilia are not preserved. The general characteristics observed are: (i) lateral fossa in the vertebral body; (ii) concave ventral face of the vertebral body; (iii) neural spine high and wide at the top, subquadrangular in shape, in both dorsal and sacral vertebrae; (iv) infrapre- and infrapostzygapophyseal ridges on the dorsals; (v) presence of hyposphene and hypantrum; and (vi) first sacral vertebra larger than the second, with transverse processes and broad sacral ribs, triangular in shape in dorsal view. This set of features in the vertebral elements is similar to that present in Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis from the Ischigualasto Formation and allows us to consider MCN-PV 10344 as a member of the Herrerasauridae clade. It differs from Staurikosaurus pricei, which has three smaller and more slender sacral vertebrae and a low neural spine without subquadrangular platform at the top, and from Gnathovorax cabreirai, which has subrectangular platforms, slightly more elongated anteroposteriorly, suggesting the presence of a new herrerasaurid morphotype. The two isolated, serrated blade-shaped teeth were attributed to Archosauriformes indet., because this morphotype is observed in several groups within this clade.
