Abstract: The Binalud Mountains in NE Iran are considered the eastern extension of the Alborz Ranges. The Jurassic successions and ammonite fauna of three selected sections (Dahaneh-Heydari, Bojnow and Baghi) have been studied by means of a detailed survey consisting of sedimentological and palaeontological bed-by-bed sampling of the Dalichai Formation. The ammonite fauna is abundant and ranges in age from the Upper Bajocian to the Upper Oxfordian in the Baghi section, but only Upper Oxfordian to Lower Kimmeridgian in the Dahaneh-Heydari and Bojnow sections.

Key-words: Binalud Mountains, Dalichai Formation, Bajocian-Kimmeridgian, Baghi, Dahaneh-Heydari, Bojnow.
