Abstract

This research gives a general outline of the Middle-Upper Jurassic sequences cropping out Central-East Iran. Jurassic rocks are spread widely in central-East Iran. In the Jurassic, East-Central Iran carbonate Platform, in the aspect of biogeography, has been located in the north of Gondwana paleocontinent and near northern margin of Paleo Tethys Ocean. The corals of the Jurassic of the Iranian carbonate platform have been compared with the Jurassic corals of the other provinces of the world. The whole assemblage of Iran show higher similarity with the Europe and South Asia Provinces assemblages. The Central East Iranian corals dominantly formed by colonies and belongs to reefal environment.
