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.


A New Age Finding In The Central Sakarya Region (Nw Turkey), Mehmet Fuat Uğuz Mar 2013

A New Age Finding In The Central Sakarya Region (Nw Turkey), Mehmet Fuat Uğuz

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The existence of a metamorphic basement cut by granitoids is known in the Central Sakarya region of northwest Turkey according to the previous studies. Over this metamorphic basement, there is a Liassic unit which contains ammonite, brachiopod and some benthic foraminifers and has a sequence starting with fluvial deposits at the base and grading into coastal, subtidal and shallow marine sediment character towards the top in the vicinity of Sarıcakaya district, Eskişehir City. At different levels of this unit which is called as the “Kapıkaya Formation”, the Campanian age fossils such as; Ceratolithoides aculeus (Stradner), Pervilithus varius Crux, Watznaueria barnesae …

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The conodont faunas defi ning the delta-pesavis zones (upper Lochkovian, Lower Devonian) were obtained from Beykoz and Karamandere sections of the İstinye Formation (the Yumrukaya group) and the conodont faunas of the laticostatus, serotinus, patulus and partitus zones (upper Emsian-lower Eifelian, Lower-Middle Devonian) were obtained from the Büyükdere and Kokarpınar sections of the Kozyatağı member of the Kartal Formation. A total of 22 species/subspecies were described belonging to the genera Neopanderodus (2), Icriodus (8), Pelekysgnathus (1), Lanea (1), Polygnathus (4), Ozarkodina (2), Pseudooneotodus (2), Belodella (2).

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Major differences in foraminiferal assemblages have been observed between the eastern and western coasts on the northern part of the Karaburun Peninsula. In contrast to the rich fauna of the western coast, a poor assemblage was found on the western coast, which is located in the Gulf of İzmir. A great difference in population sizes have also been observed in Amphistegina lobifera Larsen assemblages found on the Aegean coasts of Karaburun Peninsula and Gulf of Izmir. In the frame work of this study, 84 foraminifer species were identifi ed. The most abundant species were Peneroplis pertusus (Forskal), P. planatus (Fichtel …

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The hot water submarine spring which is located at a depth of 2.50 m on Yıldız Cape, Ilıca Cove (Cesme-Izmir) was investigated for its recent benthic foraminifer assemblage. 38 surface sediment samples have been collected on 3 transects. The Pacific Ocean and the Red Sea originated benthic foraminifers were abundantly observed. The identifi ed species are Nodopthalmidium antillarum (Cushman), Spiroloculina antillarum d’Orbigny, Triloculina fi chteliana d’Orbigny, Euthymonacha polita (Chapman), Coscinospira acicularis (Batsch), Peneroplis arietinus (Batsch), Amphisorus hemprichii Ehrenberg, Sorites orbiculus Ehrenberg, Cymbaloporetta plana (Cushman). Beside these species, Peneroplis arietinus (Batsch), Spiroloculina antillarum d’Orbigny, Triloculina cf. fi chteliana d’Orbigny and Cymbaloporetta …

The Geoarcheology Of The Yeni̇kapi Excavation Site In The Last 8000 Years And Geological Traces Of Natural Disasters (İstanbul - Turkey), Doğan Peri̇nçek

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

During the excavations of the Istanbul Archaeological Museum for the Marmaray Project, which will connect two sides of the Bosphorus by rail tube tunnel, an ancient Byzantine Port (Port of Theodosius) was explored around Yenikapı, district of Istanbul. The aim of the study is to understand the stratigraphical sequence observed in the excavation site, to recognize the traces of natural events observed within the sequence and to reach the geoarcheological data that will provide contribution to the archeological studies by geological findings. The sequence studied in the Yenikapý Excavation site was divided into 9 different units. The sequence is transgressive …


Preliminary Findings On The Fossil Traces In The Massive Sulphite Deposits Of Eastern Black Sea Region (Lahanos, Killik And Çayeli), M. Kemal Revan, Taner Ünlü, Yurdal Genç Sep 2010

Preliminary Findings On The Fossil Traces In The Massive Sulphite Deposits Of Eastern Black Sea Region (Lahanos, Killik And Çayeli), M. Kemal Revan, Taner Ünlü, Yurdal Genç

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Tube worm fossils have been found in the Upper Cretaceous aged massive sulfide deposits of the Eastern Black Sea Region. Similar ones of these tube worm fossils have been found in the massive sulfide deposits of Umman, Cyprus, Ireland and Urals. This fossil community defined in very few massive sulfide deposits in the world is the important evidences of the sea floor hydrothermal vents in Pontids. These worm-like forms can be considered as the ancestral forms of the unusual vent communities defined in places where modern hydrothermal vents are observed such as East Pacific Rise, Galapagos and Juan de Fuca …
