Abstract:

In order to detailed study of Echinoids, some samples are collected from Brown limestone member of Seimare from Gurpi Formation with 213 meter thickness which located in the vicinity of Ilam province; settling over Ilam Formation continuously. Paleontological results indicated Campanian – maastrichtian age at this section. Detailed analyse of the 300 samples led to recognition of Bivalve especially Bivalve of Lofa, Brachiopods and five species of Echinoids such as: Salenia nutrix, Globator bleicheri، Orthopsis miliarisi, Goniopygus superbus, Conulus douville
