A Santonian-Campanian boundary section, close to the village of Göynük in Northwestern Turkey (Bolu province), was recorded and examined in respect to nannofossil and foraminiferal biostratigraphy, magnetic susceptibility, as well as magnetic polarity. During the Late Cretaceous, the Mudurnu-Göynük basin was located in the northern Tethyan Ocean, on the Sakarya continent (between the Intra-Pontide Ocean and northern branch of the Tethys). The section yields reddish hemipelagic to pelagic deposits. The stratigraphically older part is characterised by uniform limestone. Towards the top, the section displays marls and marly limestones with frequent tuff intercalations. The section represents a hemipelagic to pelagic environment. Planktonic foraminifera prevail in numbers and represent a typical Santonian to Campanian foraminifera community. Benthic foraminifera are sparse. Biostratigraphic data suggest an age from the late Santonian Dicarinella asymetrica to the early Campanian Globotruncanita elevata planktonic foraminifera zone (nannofossil zones CC16-CC18). By investigation of magnetic polarity, the older part of the section can be assigned to the Santonian C34 normal, while the base-Campanian reversal C33r is evident in the upper part of the section. Results from the assessment of magnetic susceptibility give evidence for Milankovitch cycles. We witness a strong signal for what would presumably be the 400 kyr eccentricity cycle. The Campanian interval measured at this section gives results of unusually high values for magnetic susceptibility. Compared to the older part of the section, we find values twice as high in the younger interval. As evidence for volcanic activity is frequent in the Campanian part of the section, the abrupt shift in the magnitude of magnetic susceptibility values may be explained by volcanic admixture. Apart from implications for biostratigraphy and palaeoenvironments, the record of frequent volcanic activities in this Santonian-Campanian boundary section might also provide insights in the history of volcanic events in the Northwestern Tethyan realm.

Plankton biostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy of the Santonian-Campanian boundary interval in the Mudurnu-Goynuk Basin, northwestern Turkey
Wolfgring, Erik; Wagreich, Michael; Dinares-Turell, Jaume; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Bohm, Katharina (2018-07-01)
The Santonian-Campanian boundary interval close to the village of Goynuk in northwestern Turkey (Bolu province) was recorded and examined with respect to nannofossil and foraminiferal biostratigraphy, magnetic polarity and magnetic susceptibility. During the Late Cretaceous, the Mudurnu-Goynuk Basin was located on the Sakarya continent situated in the northwestern Tethyan Realm, north of the Neo-Tethys.
A 3400 year lacustrine paleoseismic record from the North Anatolian Fault, Turkey: Implications for bimodal recurrence behavior
Avşar, Ulaş; Batist, Marc De; Fagel, Nathalie (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2014-1-28)
High-resolution physical, geochemical, and geochronological analyses on the sedimentary sequence of Yenicaa Lake, located in a fault-bounded basin along the North Anatolian Fault, reveal fingerprints of paleoearthquakes. A robust sediment chronology, spanning the last 3400 years, is constructed by radiocarbon dating and time-stratigraphical correlation with the precisely dated Sofular Cave speleothem record. Yenicaa sedimentary sequence contains 11 seismically induced event deposits characterized by silicic...
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 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...
A condensed mesozoic succession north of Izmir: A fragment of the anatolide-tauride platform in the Bornova Flysch zone
Okay, Aral I.; Altıner, Demir (2007-01-01)
The Bornova Flysch Zone consists of large blocks of Mesozoic limestone, basalt, serpentinite and radiolarian chert in a highly sheared clastic matrix of latest Cretaceous to Paleocene age. We describe a condensed Mesozoic section from a limestone block near the village of Urbut, 27 km southwest of Bigadic, north of Izmir. The section, 81 m thick, starts with massive, thickly-bedded Upper Triassic carbonates with megalodonts and foraminifera characteristic of Late Norian-Rhaetian. These are unconformably ove...
