A Wordian (Middle Permian) cephalopod fauna consisting of four ammonoid species, Tauroceras aff. scrobiculatum
(Gemmellaro), Agathiceras sp., Bamyaniceras orientale n. sp. and Pronoritidae gen. and sp. indet., and two nautiloid
species, Tainoceras sp. md Orthocerida fam. indet., were recovered from the Bera South area, southern Pahang,
Peninsular Malaysia.  The outcrop represents the southernmost extent of the Bera Formation.  Bamyaniceras and
Tainoceras are recorded in Malaysia for the first time.  The presence of T. aff. scrobiculatum suggests a regional
correlation with ammonoid-bearing bed of Sungai Cheroh, western Pahang, and permits global correlations with strata
of northeastern Iraq, northern Oman and Sicily (Italy).  A possible eastwards faunal migration through the southern
Tethys is suggested.
