Late Permian fluvio-lacustrine successions of the Cakraz Formation in the Zonguldak Terrane between the regions of Akcakoca and Ereli were investigated in order to describe the litho- and biostratigraphic properties and explain the depositional environment. The studied succession with black, dark-grey to greenish-grey shales, siltstones and limestones is named the Alapl Member to distinguish it from the classical red clastic successions, which are tentatively named the Ereli Member of the Cakraz Formation. The organic-rich black shales, mudstones and limestones of the Alapl Member yielded palynological assemblages suggesting a Lopingian (Tatarian) age. The lack of any marine macro- or microfossils, the fine-grained character of the lithofacies with abundant plant material and the association of poorly sorted conglomerates in the middle part of the succession indicate possible deposition in a broad range of fluvial and lacustrine environments. Successions of similar age and depositional environment are known from the East European Variscan Belt in Bulgaria and Romania. Common successions were also developed in actively extending shallow-marine platforms on the NW Palaeotethyan margin at the end of the Permian Period.

Middle-late Asselian (Early Permian) fusulinid fauna from the post-Variscan cover in NW Anatolia (Turkey): Biostratigraphy and geological implications Okuyucu, Cengiz; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2010-03-01) The earliest autochthonous cover of the Variscan basement of the Sakarya Composite Terrane (SCT) in NW Anatolia is represented by basal conglomerates and limestones. The microfacies types of the limestones in ascending order are: (1) bioelastic grainstone/packstone, (2) fusulinid grainstone/packstone, (3) smaller foraminiferal grainstone/packstone, (4) Anthracoporella (dasycladale) grainstone/packstone. and (5) wackestones. Twenty-three species assignable to 15 genera of fusulinids were recovered from the s...
Late Cretaceous-Eocene Geological Evolution of the Pontides Based on New Stratigraphic and Palaeontologic Data Between the Black Sea Coast and Bursa (NW Turkey) Ozcan, Zahide; Okay, Aral; Özcan, Ercan; Hakyemez, Aynur; Altıner, Sevinç (2012-01-01) The Late Cretaceous-Eocene geological evolution of northwest Turkey between the Black Sea and Bursa was studied through detailed biostratigraphic characterization of eleven stratigraphic sections. The Upper Cretaceous sequence in the region starts with a major marine transgression and lies unconformably on a basement of Palaeozoic and Triassic rocks in the north (Istanbul-type basement) and on metamorphic rocks and Jurassic sedimentary rocks in the south (Sakarya-type basement). Four megasequences have been...
Late Eocene evolution of the Cicekdagi Basin (central Turkey): Syn-sedimentary compression during microcontinent-continent collision in central Anatolia Gulyuz, Erhan; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Meijers, Maud J. M.; van Hinsbergen, Douwe J. J.; Lefebvre, Come; Vissers, Reinoud L. M.; Hendriks, Bart W. H.; Peynircioglu, A. Ahmet (2013-08-16) The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) exposes metasediment rocks overlain by Cretaceous ophiolites and intruded by granitoids. Following late Cretaceous exhumation of its high-grade metamorphic rocks, the CACC started to collide with the Central Pontides of southern Eurasia in the latest Cretaceous to Paleocene. Here, we present the sedimentary, stratigraphic and tectonic evolution of the Cicekdagi Basin, located in the northwest of the CACC. Magnetostratigraphic dating, supported by Ar-40/Ar-39 ...
Late Carboniferous and early Permian fusulinoideans in the Central Taurides, Turkey: Biostratigraphy, faunal composition and comparison Kobayashi, Fumio; Altıner, Demir (GeoScienceWorld, 2008-01-01) The Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian rock units in the Hadim area, central Taurides, Turkey, are biostratigraphically divided into eleven fusulinoidean zones in ascending order: the Protriticites variabilis, Montiparus umhonoplicatus and Schwageriniformis schwageriniformis Zones in the Kasimovian; the Jigulites aff. formosus, Daixina asiatica and Rugosofusulina sp. A Zones in the Gzhelian; the Paraschwagerina sp. and Dutkevichia complicata Zones in the Asselian; the Paraschwagerina pseudondra and Robil...
Late Campanian Maastrichtian evolution of orbitoidal foraminifera in Haymana Basin succession Ankara Central Turkey Özcan, Ercan; Altıner, Sevinç (1997-01-01) In Central Anatolia, a thick sedimentary succession composed of deep-water turbiditic units represented by marl-shale, sandstone, olistostromal horizons and carbonates crops out. This succession constitutes the lower part of so-called Haymana Basin spanning the Santonian (?)/Campanian-Eocene time interval. Evolution of Lepidorbitoides and Orbitoides concerning embryonic features and the initial chamber arrangement has been investigated in the Late Cretaceous part of this succession. Previously unrecognized ...
