The Paleocene-Eocene sequences are widely distributed around onshore and offshore Black Sea. When the previous studies in the Turkish coasts of the Black Sea are considered, the deficiency of a detailed biostratigraphical framework attracts the attention. The taxonomy of the planktonic foraminifera and the benthic foraminifera assemblages are important for the establishment of the new biostratigraphical frame in the Paleocene-Eocene sequences of the Western and Central Black Sea regions. The Paleocene-Eocene interval was studied throughout the sequences including Akveren, Atbaşı and Kusuri formations. Taxonomical studies have been carried out on 327 samples collected from 9 stratigraphical sections for the high resolution biostratigraphy. 4 families, 18 genera, 87 species have been identified for the planktonic foraminifera and 30 families, 38 genera, 14 species were defined for the benthic foraminifera. By using the first and last occurrences of the planktonic foraminifera, 13 biozones and 4 subzones have been established in this study: (1) Parvularugoglobigerina eugubina-Praemurica uncinata Interval Zone (with Subbotina triloculinoides-Praemurica inconstans Interval Subzone and Praemurica inconstans-Praemurica uncinata Interval Subzone), (2) Praemurica uncinata-Morozovella angulata Interval Zone, (3) Morozovella angulata-Acarinina nitida Interval Zone, (4) Acarinina nitida-Globanomalina pseudomenardii Concurrent Range Zone, (5) Morozovella velascoensis Partial-range Zone, (6) Morozovella subbotinae Partial-range Zone (with Morozovella edgari Partial-range Subzone and Morozovella formosa/Morozovella lensiformis-Morozovella aragonensis Interval Subzone), (7) Morozovella aragonensis-Morozovella formosa Concurrent-range Zone, (8) Acarinina pentacamerata Partial-range Zone, (9) Acarinina cuneicamerata-Hantkenina spp. Interval Zone, (10) Hantkenina spp.-Acarinina boudreauxi Concurrent-range Zone, (11) Globigerina eoceanica Partial-range Zone, (12) Globigerina turkmenica-Globigerina azerbaidjanica Concurrent-range Zone and (13) Globigerina azerbaidjanica-Acarinina medizzai Interval Zone. The Paleocene-Eocene boundary has been recognized by the first occurrences of Acarinina wilcoxensis and Acarinina pseudotopilensis in Erfelek 1 and Kaymakam Kayası sections. Response of planktonic foraminifera to the environmental perturbations during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is recorded by the absence of the excursion taxa (Acarinina sibaiyaensis, Acarinina africana and Morozovella allisonensis) besides the scarcity or absence of the other warm water surface dwellers during the latest Paleocene-earliest Eocene. The benthic foraminiferal extinction event, which is another important event on the boundary, is recorded by the extinction of Pullenia coryelli below the boundary in the Erfelek 1 Section. The XRD studies on the Erfelek 1 Section have recorded two levels for the carbonate dissolution during the PETM, whereas the clay mineralogy indicates different sources for the clay minerals, which show the effect of the tectonism in the region. The discrepancies in the stratigraphical ranges of the planktonic foraminifera have been recognized especially during the Middle and Late Eocene for the Black Sea region. These differences with respect to Mediterranean and Crimean-Caucasus realms emphasize the importance of the paleogeographical position of the Black Sea Region, as the connection between those two regions, to revise and recalibrate marker planktonic foraminiferal bioevents for the Black Sea region.

Erosional truncation of uppermost Permian shallow-marine carbonates and implications for Permian-Triassic boundary events
Payne, Jonathan L.; Lehrmann, Daniel J.; Follett, David; Seibel, Margaret; Kump, Lee R.; Riccardi, Anthony; Altıner, Demir; Sano, Hiroyoshi; Wei, Jiayong (Geological Society of America, 2007-07-01)
On shallow-marine carbonate buildups in south China, Turkey, and Japan, uppermost Permian skeletal limestones are truncated by an erosional surface that exhibits as much as 10 cm of topography, including overhanging relief. Sedimentary facies, microfabrics, carbon isotopes, and cements together suggest that erosion occurred in a submarine setting. Moreover, biostratigraphic data from south China demonstrate that the surface postdates the uppermost Permian sequence boundary at the global stratotype section a...
Rapid cooling history of a Neotethyan ophiolite: Evidence for contemporaneous subduction initiation and metamorphic sole formation
PARLAK, OSMAN; Dunkl, Istvan; KARAOĞLAN, FATİH; Kusky, Timothy M.; Zhang, Chao; Wang, Lu; Koepke, Juergen; Billor, Zeki; Hames, Willis E.; ŞİMŞEK, EMRAH; Simsek, Gokce; ŞİMŞEK, TUĞÇE; Ozturk, Selena Ezgi (Geological Society of America, 2019-11-01)
The Beywhir-Hoyran Nappes, including Mesozoic carbonate platform rocks, deepsea sediments, and ophiolite-related units, crop out extensively on the western limb of the Isparta Angle in the Central Taurides, Turkey. The ophiolite-related rocks are represented by variably serpentinized harzburgitic mantle tectonites, tectonically underlain by a subophiolitic metamorphic sole and melange. The harzburgitic mantle tectonites and metamorphic sole are intruded by undeformed isolated dikes. Protoliths of the metamo...
Planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and microfacies analysis of the cenomanian-campanian succession in the Haymana-Polatlı Basin (Ankara, Turkey)
Sarıaslan, Nisan; Altıner, Sevinç; Department of Geological Engineering (2017)
In order to establish the planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Cenomanian- Campanian deposits in the Haymana-Polatlı Basin, a stratigraphic section of 93.5 meters was measured and 75 samples were collected. The stratigraphic section starts with limestones containing late Cenomanian rotaliporid and dicarinellid species and continues with early-middle Turonian aged clayey limestones with sporadic shale beds. These units are overlain by red colored Santonian limestones and shales containing abundant...
Foraminiferal and calpionellid biostratigraphy, microfacies analyses and tectonic implications of the upper jurassic – lower cretaceous carbonate platform to slope successions in sivrihisar region (Eskişehir, NW Turkey)
Atasoy, Serdar Görkem; Altıner, Demir; Department of Geological Engineering (2017)
This study focuses on the biostratigraphy, microfacies analyses and the tectonic interpretation of an Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous carbonate succession widely exposed in a tectonic klippe of the Sakarya Zone (Pontides), north of Sivrihisar region (Eskişehir). For this purpose two stratigraphic sections were measured (925 m thick in total) along the carbonate rocks that crop out north of the Dümrek Village. According to the biozonation and the microfacies types, two coeval but dissimiliar depositional d...
Use of sedimentary structures in the recognition of sequence boundaries in Upper Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous peritidal carbonates of the Western Taurides, Turkey
Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Altıner, Demir (Informa UK Limited, 2001-08-01)
Subtidal, intertidal, and supratidal carbonate facies are recognized in the Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian)-Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) peritidal carbonates of the Fele area (Western Taurides, Turkey). Vertical stacking patterns of these facies are of a cyclical character, shallowing upward is the trend of the cyclicity in these carbonate facies. In-situ karstic breccias, collapse breccias, caliche (laminar calcrete), "Microcodium" accretion, and root casts are structures commonly indicative of third-order ...
