The finding of Aphrodina dutrugei (Cocqu and, 1862) in a rich collection of non-rudist bivalve fauna from the famous Cenomanian-Turonian carbonates of the Afro-Arabian Plate has permitted the reevaluation of venerid bivalves during an important period of their evolution. The genus Aphrodina Conrad, 1869, Family Veneridae Rafinesque, 1815, embraces several Tethyan Cretaceous species that range from Cenomanian to Santonian. During the late Albian-Maastrichtian 'Aphrodiniid' venerids, were distributed along the western margin of the Atlantic (North and South America), the Afro-Arabian Plate (Jordan, SE Turkey, Morocco, Algeria and Egypt), the eastern Tethys, and the Southern Ocean (India, Japan, western Australia and New Zealand). They are also known in the Turonian-Santonian Trans-Saharan Seaway (Gabon). Until now these fossils have been unknown in any Upper Cretaceous localities of southeastern Turkey. In this paper, we report the first record of one of the most common and widespread shallow infaunal species, Aphrodina dutrugei, in the Cenomanian Derdere Formation in the Mardin-Mazidagi area, SE Turkey, which is in the extreme northeastern part of its known range.

Morphology, anatomy and systematics of the genus Lathyrus l. (Legumınosae) in Central Anatolia, Turkey Çildir, Hüseyin; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biology (2011) In this study, morphology, anatomy and systematics of the Genus Lathyrus L. (Leguminosae) in Central Anatolia is presented. Comparative morphological characters and their variation in the Genus; Calyx, leaf, corolla and pollen grains micro-morphology of the species; Anatomy of the species; Ecology, endemism, phytogeography and IUCN threat categories of the species; Numerical analysis and Revision of the genus in Central Anatolia were conducted. For the first time the calyx, corolla and leaf micromorphology,...
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...
Upper Cretaceous rudist carbonate ramp facies in the SE Anatolia, Turkey: a comparison with the Arabian platform facies Özer, Sacit; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Mülayim, Oğuz; Sarı, Bilal; Hoşgör, İzzet; Taslı, Kemal (null; 2019-09-10) Our recent studies on the stratigraphy and facies characteristics of the Mardin Group (Derdere and Karababa formations) around Kilis, Mardin, Adıyaman and K.Maraş show that the rudist-bearing limestones are widely distributed in the Upper Cretaceous of the Arabian Platform in SE Anatolia. Macro and microfacies analysis indicate a shallowing upward sequences through the upper parts of these formations which are characterized by the presence of rudists and their fragments. Up section of the Derdere Formation ...

Here, we use published ancient genomes to investigate gene flow events in west Eurasia during the Neolithic transition. We confirm that the Early Neolithic central Anatolians in the ninth millennium BCE were probably descendants of local hunter-gatherers, rather th...
Upper Cenomanian-Lower Campanian Derdere and Karababa formations in the Cemberlitas oil field, southeastern Turkey: their microfacies analyses, depositional environments, and sequence stratigraphy Mülayim, Oğuz; Mancini, Ernest; Çemen, İbrahim; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer (2016-01-01) The frontal belt of the southeastern Anatolia fold-thrust belt in Turkey contains several small to mid-size oilfields, producing from carbonate reservoirs of the Cretaceous Mardin group. Many of these fields are found along narrow, asymmetrical anticlinal structures, associated with the formation of the fold-thrust belt. The emberlitas oil field in Adiyaman, southeastern Turkey, is one of the most important oilfields in the region. It produces from the Upper Cretaceous Derdere and Karababa formations of the...
