Upper Jurassic–lower Cretaceous carbonates (Berdiga Fm.) are widely exposed in the NE Turkey. An integrated study of sedimentological and geochemical analysis was carried out on the lower Cretaceous carbonates of Berdiga Fm. in Trabzon area in order to reveal the paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatological conditions of northern Tethyan Ocean. Three microfacies types were identified corresponding to inner to slope environments. Inner platform environment developed during the Hauterivian–Aptian interval. End of the Aptian, syn-sedimentary extensional tectonic regime might probably have caused the progressive deepening of the environment, so the inner platform environment evolved into an outer platform and then into slope during the late Aptian–Albian time. Additionally, δ18O stable isotope values of the belemnites of studied section indicate that paleotemperature ranged between 25 and 26 °C during Aptian–Albian interval. Therefore warm Cretaceous climate conditions were recorded in the Eastern Pontides.

Sedimentological and geochemical approaches for determination of the palaeoceanographic and palaeoclimatic conditions of Lower Cretaceous marine deposits in the eastern part of Sakarya Zone, NE Turkey Özyurt, Merve ; Kırmacı, Mehmet Ziya ; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; KANDEMİR, RAİF; TASLI, Kemal (2022-05-01) Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous carbonate successions are widely exposed throughout the Sakarya Zone, Northern Turkey. The carbonates are considered as invaluable archives of palaeoceanographic and palaeoclimatic conditions of Tethys Ocean. We, here, present new micropaleontological, microfacies, and stable isotope data (delta O-18 and delta C-13) of Lower Cretaceous carbonate succession of the eastern part of Sakarya Zone, NE Turkey. The studied Lower Cretaceous carbonates are characterized by, from bottom...
Sedimentological and stratigraphical analysis of the Cenomanian-Santonian rudist-bearing carbonate platform, northern Arabian Plate, the Sabunsuyu section, Kilis area (SE Turkey) Mülayim, Oğuz; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Özer, Sacit; Sarı, Bilal; Taslı, Kemal; Hoşgör, İzzet (2019-09-10) Our recent studies show that the Cenomanian-Santonian carbonate sediments rich in rudists are widespread throughout southeastern Turkey. The middle-late Cenomanian Derdere Formation and Coniacian-Santonian Karababa Formation, analyzed in the Sabunsuyu section (Kilis province), is almost completely composed of limestones, with subordinate limestones with chert bands, dolomite and dolomitic limestones. On a field scale, we can distinguish rudist-rich beds rhythmically alternating with bioclastic levels compos...
Rock forming nannofossils in uppermost Jurassic Lower Cretaceous rock units of Northwest Anatolia Nannoconus and its revised taxonomy Altıner, Sevinç (1999-01-01) Nannoconids have been recorded in a rock-forming quantity in the uppermost Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous rock units in Northwest Anatolia, Turkey. Samples were collected from seventeen stratigraphic sections spanning the calciturbidities of the Yosunlukbayırı Formation and pelagic micrites of the Soğukçam Limestone. Because of rareness and difficulties for extracting of calcareous nannofossil species particularly zone markers in these type lithologies, nannoconids have particular attention in terms of biostrati...
GEOCHEMISTRY AND TECTONIC SIGNIFICANCE OF AUGEN GNEISSES FROM THE SOUTHERN MENDERES MASSIF (WEST TURKEY) Bozkurt, Erdin; PARK, RG (1995-05-01) The protoliths of mylonitized augen gneisses exposed in the southern sector of the Menderes Massif (West Turkey) are calc-alkaline, peraluminous, S-type, late- to post-tectonic tourmaline- and garnet-bearing, two-mica leucogranites. They cut and post-date the fabrics of the 'main Menderes metamorphism' which took place between the early Eocene and early Oligocene and intrude metamorphic basement rocks comprising the so-called 'Palaeozoic schist envelope' of the massif. They are themselves cut by an extensiv...
Geochemistry and Tectonic Implications of Leucogranites and Tourmalines of the Southern Menderes Massif, Southwest Turkey Bozkurt, Erdin; Mittwede, Steven K.; Ottley, Christopher J. (Informa UK Limited, 2006-10) Granitoid rocks of the southern Menderes Massif, SW Turkey include widespread possibly Ediacaran high-grade granitic orthogneisses and younger (Tertiary) sheets, sills and/or dikes of variably deformed tourmaline-bearing leucogranites. The latter are confined to the immediate footwall of the regional-scale ductile southern Menderes shear zone. Although both sets of granitoid rocks are essentially calc-alkaline and peraluminous, the syn- to post-collisional tourmaline-bearing leucogranites are chemically dis...
