A new record of the Permian ammonoid family Cyclolobidae from Julfa (NW Iran)

Abstract
Representatives of the Guadalupian and Lopingian ammonoid family Cyclolobidae are very rare in Transcaucasia and Iran. The new species Timorites dendroides KORN & GHADERI n. sp. is described from the beds with Araxoceras (Julfa Formation, early Wuchiapingian) of Kuh-e-Ali Bashi (East Azerbaijan, NW Iran). It is the first record of the genus in the northern Palaeotethys and stratigraphically the youngest occurrence of the genus.
