This study integrates ichnological and sedimentological data to interpret depositional environments in the carbonate sediments of the Mobarak Fm. (Lower Carboniferous) in the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran. Seven ichnofabrics including  Thalassinoides  ( Th), Zoophycos ‒ Phycosiphon  ( Zo-Ph), Skolithos ‒ Thalassinoides  ( Sk-Th), Zoophycos ‒ Diplocraterion  ( Zo-Di), Thalassinoides ‒ Rhizocorallium  ( Th-Rh), Zoophycos‒Arenicolites  ( Zo-Ar ) and  Chondrites ‒ Phycosiphon  ( Ch-Ph ) have been identified in the studied succession.  Th  ichnofabric is characterised by the dominance of the deposit-feeding trace fossils, revealing low sedimentation rate and activity of the organisms in a loose substrate. Vertical succession of the  Zo-Ph, Sk-Th  and  Zo-Di  ichnofabrics indicates change in the firmness of the substrate.  Th-Rh  and  Zo-Ar  ichnofabrics reveal two different energy phases including a lower energy condition with the activity of deposit-feeders and a higher energy phase identified by the activity of suspension-feeders.  Ch-Ph  ichnofabric is characterised by low diversity and low abundance of trace fossils that were identified in black, limy shale, displaying a long lasting outer ramp setting with low energy, low sedimentation rate, and dysoxic-anoxic conditions of the substrate. Ichnological features of the Mobarak Fm. are controlled by subsidence-inducing changes in the accommodation space of the depositional system dictating variations in paleoenvironmental conditions such as oxygen levels and hydrodynamic energy.
