Reasonably diverse and very well-preserved palynomorphs including miospores, dinoflagellate cysts, foraminiferal test linings, acritarchs (sensu lato) and fungal spores occur in the Dalichai Formation, Yonjehzar, northeastern Tehran, central Alborz. The assemblages embrace ۴۰ species of spores (assigned to ۲۹ genera), ۱۸ species of pollen (distributed among ۱۰ genera) and ۵۴ species of dinoflagellates (assigned to ۲۸ genera). According to the presence of such miospores species with known worldwide stratigraphic distribution as Klukisporites variegatus, K. scaberis, Concavissimisporites verrucosus, C. pricei, Osmundacidites senectus and Striatella spp. the host strata are conceivably dated as Middle Jurassic. Based on the stratigraphic distribution of miospores, Klukisporites variegatus-Araucariacites australis-Cerebropollenites macroverrucosus Assemblage Zone is recognized. Presence of some index dinoflagellate species led to identification of four biozones in the Dalichai Formation. These include in ascending order, Cribroperidinium crispum Total Range Biozone (late Bajocian), Dichadogonyaulax sellwoodii Interval Biozone (Bathonian - early Callovian), Ctenididinium continuum Interval Biozone (early - middle Callovian) and Subzone a (early - middle Bathonian). Co-ccurrence of dinoflagellate cysts with known vertical ranges, viz., Cribroperidinium crispum, Meiourogonyaulax valensii, Carpatodinium predae, Ctenidodinium combazii and Compositosphaeridium polonicum suggests a Middle Jurassic age (late Bajocian to middle Callovian) for the host strata corroborates the available miospores-based biostratigraphy. The miospores are attributed to the Pterophyta (۶۹%), Coniferophyta (۱۵%), Pteridospermophyta (۷%), Cycadophyta (۵%), Lycophyta (۲%), Ginkgophyta and Bryophytes (۱%). Considering the relative abundance of fern spores (۶۹%) and their morphological diversity (۱۹ genera), it can be concluded that fern and fern-allies dominated the coastal vegetation around the sedimentary environments of the studied strata and that they flourished under a warm climate with notable humidity. The study of paleoclimate using the Sporomorph EcoGroups model shows a high ratio of warmer/cooler sporomorphs and a low ratio of drier/wetter sporomorphs, which is another confirmation of this type of climate. Presece of such warm water dinoflagellate cysts as Gonyaulacysta centriconnata, G. jurassica, Nannoceratopsis pellucida, Tubotuberella apatela, Ctenidodinium continuum, Pareodinia halosa, P. ceratophora, paleogeographic reconstruction and geographical location of Iran in the Middle Jurassic supports the generalization proposed.
