Abstract: | Orthoconic cephalopods from the Ordovician Katkoyeh Formation at Banestan, Kerman Province, Iran, comprise a single species named as Sactorthoceras banestanensis Evans nov. sp. Associated faunas suggest close palaeobiogeographical linkage with other regions of north peri-Gondwana, notably Morocco and Bohemia (Perunica), while Sactorthoceras itself is also indicative of relationships with Baltica and the Sino-Korean Plate. |
