Permian–Triassic boundary sections in the Julfa (NW Iran) and Abadeh (Central Iran) regions display a succession of three characteristic rock units, (1) theParatirolitesLimestone with the mass extinction horizon at its top, (2) the ‘Boundary Clay’, and (3) the earliest Triassic Elikah Formation with the conodont P–Tr boundary at its base. The carbonate microfacies reveals a facies change, in the sections near Julfa, within theParatirolitesLimestone with an increasing number of intraclasts, Fe–Mn crusts, and biogenic encrustation. A decline in carbonate accumulation occurs towards the top of the unit with a sponge packstone in the sections, and finally resulting in a complete demise of the carbonate factory. The succession of the ‘Boundary Clay’ differs in the two regions; thin horizons of sponge packstone are present in the Julfa region and ‘calcite fans’ of probably inorganic origin in the Abadeh Region. The skeletal carbonate factory of the Late Permian was restored with the deposition of microbial carbonates at the base of the Elikah Formation, where densely laminated bindstone, floatstone with sparry calcite spheres, and oncoid wackestone/floatstone predominate.
