The Lower Red Formation (LRF) in Central Iran consists of the alternation red-brown terrigenous sediments, marls and evaporites with basalt intercalations, exposed under Chattian-Burdigalian Qom deposited on Eocene volcaniclastic sediments. LRF is considered Rupelian age. In Deh Nar area, between Kashan cities, includes a basal conglomerate, alternations brown-red sandstone shale, colored evaporite diapirs top eroded red sandstone, dark gray green lava intercalations. These sedimentary rocks are fluvial playa environments, influenced by volcanic activities. layers contain numerous vertebrate footprints, mostly preserved as convex hyporeliefs. Bird footprints identified Ardeipeda egretta , Aviadactyla vialovi Avipeda phoenix Gruipeda dominguensis . Small bird attributed to small, incumbent anisodactyl shoreline birds, such sandpipers, larger them Gruiformes Ciconiiformes, Ardeidae Ciconiidae. Mammal include Dehnaripus incognitus ign. nov. isp. Lophiopus isp., Moropopus elongatus kashanensis Platykopus stuartjohnstoni Zanclonychopus large circular manus pes imprints; usually, they show unorganized, large, radial surface wrinkles their digital or metatarsal/ metacarpal imprints ambiguous. tridactyl mammal distinguished sharp, claw-like lateral digits from Most probably, made three toed, medium- sized terrestrial herbivores perissodactyls Tapiroidea. however, were remained carnivores Amphicyonidae Ursidae. Trackmakers area lived hot dry conditions evaporitic after cool Early Oligocene.
