Revised Chrono-biostratigraphy of Lower Miocene deposits of the Eastern Mediterranean (SW Turkey), based on calcareous nannofossils
GEOLOGIA CROATICA(2018)
摘要
Lower Miocene deposits of the Guneyce Formation formerly described as the Elmali Formation of Lutetian-Burdigalian age are located near the villages of Gokcebag (Burdur) and Yakaoren (Isparta), (southwestern Turkey), Eastern Mediterranean, and overlie the pre-Neogene tectonostratigraphic units of the Isparta Angle. The purpose of this study is to discuss new biostratigraphic data calibrated to originally classified nannofossil records. Three Early Miocene nannofossil biozones, NN1 - Triquetrorhabdulus carinatus Zone, NN2 - Discoaster druggii Zone and NN3 - Sphenolithus belemnos Zone, were defined in clastic sediments of the Guneyce Formation. In addition, one Lutetian biozone, NP16 - Discoaster tanii nodifer Zone, was recognized in the remaining outcrops of the Isparta Formation unconformably underlying the Guneyce Formation. Nannofossil assemblages of shallow marine deposits in the Guneyce Formation contain high amounts of reworked (Palaeogene and Cretaceous) specimens. New biostratigraphic data and sedimentary features of the Guneyce Formation clastics indicate shallow marine deposition and the beginning of the transgression, spreading over an erosional surface on the ophiolitic melange and Cretaceous to Eocene marine successions rising to the west of the region.
