Abstract
Hypercalcified sponges including the polyphyletic group of so called Spongiomorphids, which were formerly classified as hydrozoans, commonly occur in Upper Triassic, especially Norian–Rhaetian reefs in Iran. In this paper two new sponge taxa – Plagaspongia lutensis nov. gen., nov. sp. and Iranofungia multiosculata nov. gen., nov. sp. – are described from the Norian–Rhaetian Nayband Formation of northeast Iran. The former is assigned to the Spongiomorphids, the latter to the inozoan sponges. In addition Stromatomorpha californica Smith – a “lithistid” sponge (order Orchocladina), an organism similar to Stromatomorpha californica – and Cheilosporites tirolensis Wähner are described. All species are reported for the first time from the Upper Triassic Nayband Formation of Iran.
