The Yılanlı Formation of Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous succession of the Zonguldak region were measured from Gökgöl section near Zonguldak city, NW Turkey. The studied section dominantly consists of limestone of grey – dark grey color with thin to thick beds of black shale and claystone. A variety of lithofacies identified in the studied section including limestone, dolomite, shale, claystone and mudstone. Nine microfacies are identified as grainstone, packstone, wackstone, mudstone, bindstone, rudstone, shale, claystone and dolomite. Grainstone and packstone have abundant peloids, bioclast, intraclast and ooids. Wackstone and mudstone are characterized by bivalves, ostracods, lamination and breccia. The model for carbonate microfacies are generated by using texture, modal and spatial parameters in context of component analysis to interpret depositional environment. The depositional environment is interpreted as shallow marine sub-tidal to shallow lagoon environment of inner ramp type carbonate platform. The Yılanlı Formation is characterized by variety of fauna like ostracods, foraminifera, bivalves, gastropods, echinoderms, sponges, corals and green algae in the studied section.

Micropaleontological and stratigraphic analyses of the upper jurassic – lower cretaceous Inalti formation (Bürnük, central pontides, Turkey) : remarks on the facies evolution Kaya, Mustafa Yücel; Altıner, Demir; Department of Geological Engineering (2014) This thesis aims to conduct a thorough investigation on the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous İnaltı Formation which is a significant unit for the regional geology of Turkey. Conducted investigation involves micropaleontological and microfacies analyses integrated with stratigraphic interpretations. In the vicinity of Bürnük Village, a 395 m thick stratigraphic section, overlying the Bürnük Formation and underlying the Çağlayan Formation, was measured and 101 samples were collected. Biostratigraphic and chr...
Stratigraphical, sedimentological, geochemical and cyclostratigraphical analyses of upper cretaceous (upper santonian- campanian) pelagic successions of Haymana and Mudurnu-Göynük basins of the Sakarya continent, Turkey Afridi, Bakht Zamir; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Department of Geological Engineering (2014) The Upper Cretaceous (Upper Santonian-Campanian) successions were measured from two different basins of Turkey, Haymana basin and Mudurnu-Göynük basin. The measured Alagöz and Göynük sections are dominantly composed of red marly beds and fine grained siliciclastic green-gray beds with occasional interruption of fine grained turbiditic bedding. A variety of lithofacies are identified in the studied sections, including radiolarian packstone, silty marls, marls, mudstone, claystone, siltstone and fine grained ...
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...
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 ...
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...
