Cricetodontini From The Early Miocene Of Anatolia, Nihal Çinar Durgut, Engin Ünay

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Cricetodon and Deperetomys from the early Miocene localities Söke, Dededağ (Aydın), Kınık, Harta (Manisa) Western Anatolia and Yapıntı (İçel) Southern Anatolia are studied. Seven species, four of which are new, are described: Cricetodon trallesensis n. sp., Cricetodon fikreti n. sp., Cricetodon magnesiensis n. sp., Cricetodon yapintiensis n. sp., Cricetodon versteegi, Cricetodon kasapligili and Cricetodon cf. kasapligili, Deperetomys cf. intermedius. In order to establish phylogenetic relations of the Cricetodon species, a cladistic analysis are performed.


The Ostracod Fauna And Environmental Characteristics Of The Volcano Sedimentary Yol Üstü Formation In The Hinis Region, Erzurum (Eastern Anatolia), Turkey, Ümit Şafak Mar 2013

The Ostracod Fauna And Environmental Characteristics Of The Volcano Sedimentary Yol Üstü Formation In The Hinis Region, Erzurum (Eastern Anatolia), Turkey, Ümit Şafak

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The volcanosedimentary Yolüstü formation which outcrops in the vicinity of Hınıs Town, the southeast of Erzurum City, consists of conglomerate, marl, agglomerate, claystone, tuffite, fragmented travertine limestone with fragments of sand – pebble - plant, lacustrine limestone and tuffaceous – clayey limestone. In this formation, carefully selected 3 measured stratigraphic sections were taken at levels in which the lithology of hard travertine limestones with plant fragments and soft tuffaceous – clayey limestone are present. Washed samples which had been taken from these sections were studied and assessed, and then ostracods reflecting freshwater and brackish water environments were detected. In the …

Descriptions Of Two New Families, Three New Species And Re-Description Of Four Known Genera And One Subfamily From The Larger Benthic Foraminifera Of Paleocene In Turkey, Ercüment Si̇rel

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Two new foraminiferal families are introduced as follows: the Anatoliellidae (type
genus Anatoliella Sirel) in the superfamily Ataxophragmiacea Schwager and the family
Bolkarinidae (type genus Bolkarina Sirel) in the superfamily Orbitoidacea Schwager. Three
new species of Paleocene are described and figured as follows: Ranikothalia polatliensis,
Nurdanella paleocenica, Periloculina yilmazi. In addition, four known Paleocene genera
such as Bolkarina Sirel, Globoflarina Rahaghi, Nurdanella Özgen and Coskinon Hottinger
and Drobne and subfamily Globoflarininae are redescribed.
