The Mid-Carboniferous boundary in the Aladag Unit of the Central Taurides, previously delineated on the basis of foraminifers, is now further recognizable on the basis of conodonts. Latest Serpukhovian conodonts are assigned to the Rhachistognathus muricatus Zone, whereas the early Bashkirian forms correspond to the Declinognathodus inaequalis - Declinognathodus noduliferus Zone. Conodont assemblages discovered in the Taurides are comparable to those described from Mid-Carboniferous boundary sections in North America, Japan, southern Urals, southern China, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The Mid-Carboniferous boundary is located at a horizon marked by the first appearance of Declinognathodus inaequalis, just above the last appearance of the conodont Gnathodus girtyi simplex. This horizon coincides with the boundary indicated by foraminiferal data.

PLANKTONIC FORAMINIFERAL BIOSTRATIGRAPHY, MICROFACIES ANALYSIS, SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY, AND SEA-LEVEL CHANGES ACROSS THE CRETACEOUS-PALEOGENE BOUNDARY IN THE HAYMANA BASIN, CENTRAL ANATOLIA, TURKEY Esmeray-Senlet, Selen; Altıner, Sevinç; Altıner, Demir; Miller, Kenneth G. (2015-05-01) The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary in the Haymana Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey, was delineated using planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy, microfacies analysis, and sequence stratigraphy. An similar to 29 m outcrop consisting of limestone and marl was measured, and four planktonic foraminiferal biozones were identified spanning the boundary. Planktonic foraminiferal extinction across the K/Pg boundary was catastrophic and abrupt. The extinction level is overlain by a unit (Zone P0) showing an i...
Middle Jurassic Lower Cretaceous biostratigraphy in the Central Pontides (Turkey): Remarks on paleogeography and tectonic evolution Rojay, Fuat Bora; Altıner, Demir (1998-08-01) The deposition of Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous carbonates in the Pontides was controlled mainly by the evolution of an Atlantic-type continental margin in the Tethys. The study of several stratigraphic sections from allochthonous slices and blocks of the North Anatolian Ophiolitic Melange provided insight into the Middle Jurassic-Early Cretaceous paleogeographic evolution of the Central Pontide Belt. The Callovian-Aptian successions span the Globuligerina gr. oxfordiana, Clypeina jurassica (equivalent of the T...
Planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy and foraminiferal response to sedimentary cyclicity in the upper cretaceous-paleocene of the Haymana basin (Central Anatolia, Turkey) Amirov, Elnur; Altıner, Sevinç; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The aim of this study is to establish the planktonic foraminiferal biozonation, to construct the sequence stratigraphical framework and to determine the foraminiferal response to sedimentary cyclicity in the sedimentary sequence spanning Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene in the Haymana basin (Central Anatolia, Turkey). In order to achieve this study, the stratigraphic section was measured from sedimentary sequence of the Haymana, Beyobası and Yeşilyurt formations. The sedimentary sequence is mainly characterized b...
Extrusive members of postcollisional A-type magmatism in Central Anatolia: Karahidir Volcanics, Idis Dagi-Avanos Area, Turkey Koksal, S; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Floyd, PA (2001-08-01) The Idis Dagi Igneous Complex is one of a number of late-stage plutonic bodies within the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex. It intrudes Paleozoic-Mesozoic metamorphic basement rocks and Late Cretaceous granitoids. The complex comprises mainly quartz syenites and alkali-feldspar quartz syenites known as the Idis Dagi Syenitoids.
Hydrous aluminosilicate metasomatism in an intra-oceanic subduction zone: Implications from the Kurancali (Turkey) ultramafic-mafic cumulates within the Alpine Neotethys Ocean Toksoy Köksal, Fatma; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2009-03-01) The Kurancali ultramafic-mafic cumulate body, an allochthonous ophiolitic sliver in central Anatolia, is characterized by the presence of abundant hydrous phases (phlogopite, pargasite) besides augitic diopside, plagioclase, and accessory amounts of rutile, sphene, apatite, zircon, and calcite. Based on modes of the essential minerals, the olivine-orthopyroxene-free cumulates are grouped as clinopyroxenite, hydrous clinopyroxenite, phlogopitite, hornblendite, layered gabbro, and diorite. Petrographical, min...
