The stratigraphic distribution of benthic foraminiferal and dasycladacean algal taxa in the Jurassic platform carbonate succession of the Bolkar Mountains permitted to recognise five zoned and two subzones in the Jurassic (Bajocian to Tithonian), These are in ascending order: J1-Bosniella croatical/Riyadhella regularis zone (Bajocian); J2-Redmondoides Iugeoni/R. of. rotundatus zone (lower Bathonian) comprising J2a-Paravalvulina complicata subzone in its middle part; J3-Paleopfenderina trochoideal P. salernitana zone (upper Bathonian-Callovian) comprising J3a-Satorina apuliensis/Kilianina blancheti subzone in its lower part; J4-Kurnubia ex.gr. palastiniensis zone (Oxfordian-lower Kimmeridgian); J5-Clypeina jurassica zone (upper Kimmeridgian-Tithonian). This biostratigraphic scheme corresponds to those for the peri-Mediterranean Jurassic platforms, except for J2 zone and J2a subzone which are first time introduced from the Bolkar Mountains Jurassic succession.

Extinction, survival, and recovery of lagenide foraminifers in the permian-triassic boundary interval, central Taurides, Turkey Groves, JR; Altıner, Demir; Rettori, R (2005-07-01) The assemblage of lagenide foraminifers in uppermost Permian rocks of the central Taurides consists of 22 species ill 16 genera. including the new species Rectostipulina pentamerata, plus additional unidentified elements. Of these, only two identifiable species in "Nodosaria" and indeterminate syzraniids survived the end-Permian mass extinction. The last occurrences of most taxa fall within the upper half-meter of the Permian System, a pattern consistent with abrupt extinction when tested for the Signor-Lip...
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 ...
Composite biostratigraphy and microfacies analysis of the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous carbonate platform to slope successions in Sivrihisar (Eskişehir) region (NW Turkey, Pontides): Remarks on the palaeogeographic evolution of the Western Sakarya Zone Atasoy, Serdar Görkem; Altıner, Demir; Okay, Aral (2017-06-14) Two stratigraphical sections were measured along the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous carbonate successions exposed in a tectonic klippe of the Sakarya Zone (Pontides), north of Sivrihisar. According to the biozonation and microfacies types, two coeval but dissimiliar rock successions, separated by a thrust fault, have been detected. These successions belong to different depositional belts of the Edremit-Bursa-Bilecik Carbonate Platform (EBBCP), western Sakarya Zone. The lower succession displays a slo...
High-resolution sequence stratigraphic correlation in the Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian)-Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) peritidal carbonate deposits (Western Taurides, Turkey) Altıner, Demir; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Bayazitoglu, M; Gaziulusoy, ZE (1999-01-01) Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian)- Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) inner platform carbonates in the Western Taurides are composed of metre-scale upward-shallowing cyclic deposits (parasequences) and important karstic surfaces capping some of the cycles. Peritidal cycles (shallow subtidal facies capped by tidal-Aat laminites or fenestrate limestones) are regressive- and transgressive-prone (upward-deepening followed by upward-shallowing facies trends). Subtidal cycles are of two types and indicate incomplete shall...
Early-Middle Triassic echinoderm remains from the Istranca Massif, Turkey Hagdorn, Hans; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2007-01-01) In the northwestern part of the Istranca Massif close to the Turkish-Bulgarian border, recrystallized limestones above germanotype fluvial clastics (Buntsandstein-equivalents) yielded remains of echinoderms and bivalves. The limestones are lensoidal, flaser-bedded and bioturbated, like the Holocrinus lagerstatten, which are common in the germanotype Muschelkalk. The sufficiently preserved crinoid ossicles can be assigned to genus Holocrinus, a crinoid clade that occurs worldwide in Early and Middle Triassic...
