Microfacies and high resolution studies at the Kurovice quarry (Czech Republic, Outer Western Carpathians) on calpionellids, calcareous and non-calcareous dinoflagellate cysts, sporomorphs and calcareous nannofossils, aligned with paleomagnetism, allow construction of a detailed stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental interpretation across the Jurassic/Cretaceous (J/K) boundary. The Kurovice section consists of allodapic and micrite limestones and marlstones. Identified standard microfacies types SMF 2, SMF 3 and SMF 4 indicate that sediments were deposited on a deep shelf margin (FZ 3), with a change, later, into distal basin conditions and sediments (FZ 1). The sequence spans a stratigraphic range from the Early Tithonian calcareous dinoflagellate Malmica Zone, nannoplankton zone NJT 15 and magnetozone M 21r to the late Early Berriasian calpionellid Elliptica Subzone of the Calpionella Zone, nannoplankton NK-1 Zone and M 17r magnetozone. The J/K boundary is marked by a quantitative increase of small forms of Calpionella alpina, the base of the Alpina Subzone (that corresponds to NJT 17b and M 19n.2n) and by the rare occurrence of Nannoconus wintereri. Palynomorphs include Early Berriasian terrestrial elements — non-calcareous dinoflagellate cysts Achomo sphaera neptunii, Prolixosphaeridium sp. A and Tehamadinium evittii. The depositional area for Kurovice was situated at the margin of the NW Tethys. The influence of cold waters from northern latitudes and potential upwellings is highlighted by: 1) the high proportion of radiolarians and sponge spicules, 2) rare calpionellids represented mostly by hyaline forms, 3) the absence of microgranular calpionellids — chitinoidellids, 4) the small percentage of the genera Nannoconus, Polycostella and Conusphaera in nannofossil assemblages, as compared to other sites in Tethys, 5) scarce Nannoconus compressus, which has otherwise been mentioned from the Atlantic area

The Character and displacement of Adıyaman fault (southeast anatolia): evidence from subsurface data Durukan, Bayram Alper; Bozkurt, Erdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) Structural interpretation of five 2D seismic sections acquired by TPAO is carried out in the Adıyaman region of Southeast Anatolia. The sections are geological calibrated with stratigraphic logs of five boreholes. This study has resulted in the discovery of a previously undefined fault, herein named as Şambayat Fault. The fault is a NW-SEtrending structure that parallels the Bozova Fault and comprises several parallel fault segments. The structural maps of Cretaceous Sayındere and Karababa formations are al...
The Tarakli Flysch in the Boyali area (Sakarya Terrane, northern Turkey): Implications for the tectonic history of the IntraPontide suture zone Catanzariti, Rita; Ellero, Alessandro; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Marroni, Michele; Ottria, Giuseppe; Pandolfi, Luca (2013-11-01) In the Boyali area, northern Turkey, the tectonic units of the Istanbul-Zonguldak Terrane and the IntraPontide suture zone are thrust over the deposits at the top of the Sakarya Terrane, known as Tarakli Flysch. It consists of Early Maastrichtian-Middle Paleocene turbidite and mass-gravity deposits, whose source mainly corresponds to the Istanbul-Zonguldak Terrane, and, with a lesser extent, to the IntraPontide suture zone. These deposits were sedimented in a foredeep basin developed during the convergence ...
The Jurassic-Early Cretaceous basalt-chert association in the ophiolites of the Ankara Melange, east of Ankara, Turkey: age and geochemistry Bortolotti, Valerio; Chiari, Marco; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Principi, Gianfranco; Saccani, Emilio; TEKİN, UĞUR KAĞAN; Tassinari, Renzo (2018-02-01) This study is focused on slide blocks including oceanic lavas associated with pelagic sediments within the eastern part of the Ankara Melange. A detailed petrological characterization of the volcanic rocks and a detailed biochronological investigation of the associated radiolarian cherts in eight sections (east of Ankara) was carried out. The volcanic rocks are largely represented by basalts and minor ferrobasalts and trachytes. They show different geochemical affinities and overlapping ages including: (a) ...
The Intra-Pontide suture zone in the Tosya-Kastamonu area, Northern Turkey Frassi, Chiara; Goncuoglu, Cemal M.; Marroni, Michele; Pandolfi, Luca; Ruffini, Leonardo; Ellero, Alessandro; Ottria, Giuseppe; Sayıt, Kaan (2016-01-01) We present the first detailed geological map of the tectonic units documented in the easternmost branch of the Intra-Pontide suture (IPS) zone in the Tosya-Kastamonu area (Northern Turkey). The Main Map is at 1:50,000 scale and covers an area of about 350 km(2). It derived from 1:25,000 scale classic field mapping and represents a detailed overview of the complexities documented in the IPS zone, a tectonic nappe stack originating from the closure of the Intra-Pontide Oceanic basin and the subsequent collisi...
New age data from the tectonostratigraphic units of the Istranca "Massif" in NW Turkey: a correlation with SE Bulgaria Bedi, Yavuz; Vasilev, Emil; Dabovski, Christo; Ergen, Ali; OKUYUCU, CENGİZ; Dogan, Adil; TEKİN, UĞUR KAĞAN; Ivanova, Daria; Boncheva, Iliana; Lakova, Iskra; Sachanski, Valeri; Kuscu, Ismail; Tuncay, Ercan; Demiray, D. Gulnur; Soycan, Havva; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2013-8-01) The Istranca Crystalline Complex in NW Anatolia and SE Bulgaria includes structural units that differ in lithostratigraphy, metamorphism, age and structural position. They are collectively named as the "Istranca nappes" comprising from bottom to top the Sarpdere, Mahyadag. and Dogankoy Nappes. The Sarpdere Nappe consists of Lower Triassic arkosic metasandstones with slate interlayers, followed by Middle to Upper Triassic carbonates and an alternation of Upper Triassic clastics and carbonates. The Mahyada. g...
