Permian-Triassic Northwest Iran • Teichert, Kummel, and Sweet 375 maps, the exact location of the type locaHty of the AH Bashi Formation is somewhat diflBcult to describe. It is indicated in Fig- ure 2 of this paper only in a veiy general way as lying about 10 km due west of the town of Julfa. It is reached by driving about 7 km along a gravel road leading southwest from Julfa in the direction of Khoy, then leaving tiie road and turning northwest to drive for about 6 km over a uniformly rising pediment surface in the direction of the only large valley visible at this point from the road. One can reach by jeep the foot of the mountains on the west- ern side of this valley. From here, it is necessary to proceed up the valley on foot for another 2 km until the first outcrops of dark-colored Khachik Limestone are reached. At this point, one tiu^ns northeast. crosses a low ridge consisting of Julfa beds, and descends into a much smaller and narrower valley on the northeastern side. Turning north in this small valley, the out- crops of the Ali Bashi Formation studied by us may be followed and are easily ac- cessible for about 1 km on the eastern side. They probably extend for some distance farther north, where, however, they are almost inaccessible. The outcrops in tlie lower part of the valley, as described above, are here desig- nated as the type locality of the Ali Bashi formation (Text-figs. 6-10). In tliis belt, four sti"atigraphic sections were selected for detailed study, but in only two were the rocks sufficiently well exposed to warrant detailed measuring. Because time did not permit us to make our own reconnaissance.
