The Cebecikoy Limestone from the Variscan flysch of the Istanbul Terrane is assigned to the foraminiferal MFZ11 zone (late early Visean, formerly V2a). This zone is essentially the range zone of Uralodiscus rotundus. Additional bioevents are proposed for characterizing the upper part of this biozone (MFZ11B subzone): the LAD of Eoendothyranopsis and the FAD of Pararchaediscus and Conilidiscus. The majority of foraminifers and algae, belonging locally to MFZ11 are well-known, except for the following taxa: Issinella luteotubulifomis sp. nov., I. enormis sp. nov., Vicinesphaera parasqualida sp. nov., Planogloboendothyra modesta sp. nov. and Endothyra irinaeformis sp. nov. The Istanbul Terrane is connected with the southern branch of the Palaeotethys, whereas the Zonguldak Terrane is connected with the northern branch of this one.

Silurian Graptolite, Conodont and Cryptospore Biostratigraphy of the Guluc Section in Eregli, Zonguldak Terrane, NW Anatolia, Turkey
Sachanski, Valeri; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Lakova, Iskra; Boncheva, Iliana; Demiray, Gulnur Saydam (2012-01-01)
The studied Guluc section of the Silurian Findikli Formation is situated on the western bank of Guluc Creek in Eregli, NW Anatolia, Turkey, in the eastern part of the Zonguldak Terrane. The Guluc section consists of 3 sedimentary packages: greenish grey limy siltstones, 5-7 m thick (1), overlain by an irregular alternation of black shales and clayey limestones, about 15 m thick (2), and a 6-7 m thick succession of mainly siltstones and sandy limestones (3). A combined biostratigraphy based upon graptolites,...
Metamorphism in the Palaeozoic schists of the Southern Menderes Massif field petrographic textural and fabric data from Selimiye Milas Muğla area
Bozkurt, Erdin (1996-01-01)
Abstract: The Menderes Massif is a large-scale metamophic core-complex in western Anatolia and forms the western of two large metamorphic culminations in the Turkish Alpide orogen. Within the Southern Menderes Massif on the southern side of the Beßparmak Mountain north of Selimiye (Milas-MuÛla), two distinct lithologic groups are recognized on the basis of their lithology and structural position: the late Oligocene granitoid rocks now in the form of mylonitic augen gneiss and the structurally overlying sequ...
TIMING AND NATURE OF ALTERATION AND MINERALIZATION AT THE ÖKSÜT AU-CU DEPOSIT (KAYSERI, CENTRAL ANATOLIA)
Yurdakul, Emrecan; İmer, Ali; Department of Geological Engineering (2022-6-29)
The Öksüt high-sulfidation epithermal gold-copper deposit is hosted within the late Miocene Develidağ Volcanic Complex (DVC) in south-central Anatolia. Mineralization mainly occurs in two domains, the Keltepe and Güneytepe orebodies, where steeply-dipping and pervasively supergene oxidized breccia zones exploited funnel-shaped diatreme conduits within andesite porphyry. Emplacement of these breccias was largely controlled by sub-vertical faults with dominant normal-slip components. Mineralized breccias comp...
Ordovician graptolites from the basal part of the Palaeozoic transgressive sequence in the Karadere area, Zonguldak Terrane, NW Turkey
Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Gutierrez-Marco, Juan Carlos; OKUYUCU, CENGİZ (2014-12-20)
The Karadere area to the east of Safranbolu in NW Anatolia is one of the very few localities in Turkey where the contact between the Cadomian basement and the Lower Palaeozoic transgressive succession is well exposed. The Ordovician graptolite Rhabdinopora flabelliformis (Eichwald) ssp. was found in the basal part of the Bakacak Formation, indicating an Early to early Late Tremadocian age for the beginning of the Palaeozoic transgression in the Zonguldak terrane. A few metres above this occurrence, another ...
Diagenetic and very low-grade metamorphic characteristics of the Paleozoic series of the Istanbul Terrane (NW Turkey)
Bozkaya, Omer; YALÇIN, HÜSEYİN; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2012-07-01)
The Istanbul Terrane along the Black Sea coast in NW Anatolia, is a Gondwana-derived continental microplate, comprising a well-developed Paleozoic succession. Petrographic and X-ray diffraction studies were performed on rock samples from measured sections throughout Ordovician-Carboniferous sedimentary units. Diagenetic-very low-grade metamorphic clastic (shale/mudstone, siltstone, sandstone) and calcareous rocks (limestone, dolomite) mainly contain phyllosilicates, quartz, feldspar, calcite, dolomite, hema...
