Abstract

Conodont faunas recovered from the upper 80 m of Late Permian limestones on the Greek island of Hydra (Idhra) include Neogondolella leveni (Kozur, Mostler, and Pjatakova), Neogondolella orientalis (Barskov and Koroleva), Hindeodus julfensis Sweet, Xaniognathus hydraensis n. sp., and Ellisonia sp. The conodonts occur with a rich assemblage of silicified brachiopods, fusulines, and other invertebrates. Diagnostic fusulines include Reichelina media Miklukho-Maklai and Palaeofusulina cf. P. prisca Deprat. The conodont and fusuline faunas are correlative with well-known faunas described from the lower part of the Ali Bashi Formation of the Djulfa region of Iran, and with similar faunas described from other regions of Central Asia. The presence of conodonts from the Neogondolella orientalis Zone of Kozur indicates that the age of the upper part of the Permian sequence on Hydra is early-middle Dzhulfian (Baisalian Substage).
