The Haymana Basin, Turkey, hosts complete record of sedimentation across the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary. To examine the K-Pg boundary transition and delineate the bioevents, two consecutive sections (UH and UKHB) were measured and sampled at high resolution. Three biozones were established: Plummerita hantkeninoides, P0 and P alpha. A detailed quantitative study on planktonic foraminifera was carried out for the P. hantkeninoides and the P0 zones for 63 150 mu m and >150 mu m size fractions. Results show dominance of ecological generalists with small, simple tests over ecological specialists with large, robust, ornamented morphologies. Heterohelicids are the most dominant group on both size fractions throughout the late Maastrichtian, however right after the K-Pg boundary Guembelitria cretacea blooms and dominates the planktonic foraminiferal assemblage in early Danian P0 Zone. The K-Pg boundary characterizes itself as 2-3 mm thick reddish oxidized layer and its transition reveals a series of events: A rapid change in sedimentation from Maastrichtian mudstones to Danian marls. A sudden annihilation of large, ornamented ecological specialists (e.g., Globotruncana, Rugoglobigerina, Planoglobulina) right at the reddish layer (even though quantitative study revealed that there is a systematic reduction in the foraminiferal species richness throughout the P. hantkeninoides Zone). Spikes of calcareous dinoflagellate Thoracosphaera and fecal pellets right after the K-Pg boundary in the Danian P0 Zone. Anomalous increase in CaO rich spherules and amorphous grains coupled with barite crystals right at the K-Pg boundary layer. Paleobathymetric calculations also revealed approximately 400 m paleodepth for the study area corresponding the upper bathyal zone.

Dinoflagellate cyst biostratigraphy of Miocene strata in the Adana Basin, Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey
Turkecan, Aksel Tugba; Munsterman, Dirk; Isik, Ugras; Altıner, Demir; Pinar, Mehtap; Cevik, Tugba; Alay, Zeynep (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01)
The Adana Basin is one of the major Neogene basins situated in SW Turkey with sedimentary successions providing good records of the paleoenvironmental changes that affected the Mediterranean area. Since a detailed biochronostratigraphic framework has not been properly established in the Adana Basin yet, this study will be the first multidisciplinary approach carried out in this region. In addition, a detailed biozonation based on marine palynomorphs was the first ever documented from the Kopekli Formation d...
Cyclic palaeokarst surfaces in Aptian peritidal carbonate successions (Taurides, southwest Turkey): internal structure and response to mid-Aptian sea-level fall
Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Altıner, Demir (Elsevier BV, 2006-12-01)
The sedimentology and cyclic stratigraphy of palaeokarst structures in Aptian peritidal carbonate successions are interpreted using field and laboratory microfacies analyses of closely spaced samples from measured outcrop stratigraphic sections in southwest Turkey. Cycles displaying shallowing-upward metre-scale cyclicity are generally composed of lime mudstones/wackestones/packestones at the bottom and stromatolites or lime mudstones with charophytes and ostracods at the top. Subaerial exposure structures ...
End-Permian mass extinction of lagenide foraminifers in the Southern Alps (Northern Italy)
Groves, John R.; Rettori, Roberto; Payne, Jonathan L.; Boyce, Matthew D.; Altıner, Demir (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2007-05-01)
The Permian-Triassic boundary, examined at two sections in the Southern Alps, occurs similar to 1.0 to 1.5 m above the base of the Tesero Oolite Member of the Werfen Formation in a depositionally continuous sequence of inner neritic carbonates. Lagenide foraminifers from the boundary interval comprise 27 species in 15 genera plus additional unidentified taxa, most of which became extinct during the end-Permian crisis. The only survivors were "Nodosaria" elabugae and unidentified species in Geillitzina and N...
Reconstruction of a Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous carbonate platform margin with composite biostratigraphy and microfacies analysis (western Sakarya Zone, Turkey): Paleogeographic and tectonic implications
Atasoy, Serdar Görkem; Altıner, Demir (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01)
During Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous the Pontides were the site of a wide carbonate platform facing the Tethys ocean in the south. In the western Pontides the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous shallow marine carbonates abut the Tethyan Izmir-Ankara suture with no evidence for platform margin deposits. The Sivrihisar klippe 50 km south of the Izmir-Ankara suture preserves a record of the missing platform margin. In the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous carbonates exposed in this Sivrihisar klippe, two coeval bu...
Timing of depositional regime changes during the Late Cretaceous evolution of the Southern Pontides (Ankara, Central Anatolia, Turkey)
Sariaslan, Nisan; Altıner, Sevinç; Altıner, Demir (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01)
During the Cretaceous, vast amounts of marine sediments were deposited along the south-facing active margin of the Eurasia. A stratigraphic section of 91 m was analyzed for planktonic foraminifera (75 samples), with the aim of establishing a refined biostratigraphy of Cenomanian-Campanian deposits in Central Anatolia. A biostratigraphic framework comprising nine biozones was established. In ascending order, the Rotalipora cushmani, Whiteinella archaeocretacea and Helvetoglobotruncana helvetica zones were de...
