MOLLUSCAN BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF EARLY MIOCENE DEPOSITS OF THE KALE-TAVAS AND ACIPAYAM BASINS (DENİZLİ, SW TURKEY)
Journal Title: Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration - Year 2017, Vol 155, Issue
Abstract
In the present work, a stratigraphic framework of the early Miocene units of the Kale-Tavas and Acıpayam deposits is proposed. Two stratigraphic sections from the brackish-marine deposits of Aquitanian (Yenidere formation) and three sections from the shallow marine units of late Burdigalian (Kale formation) age have been logged. In total 23 mollusc species are identifi ed similar to those of the areas in the Mediterranean province. The fauna indicates that the Mediterranean Tethys occupied the southwestern part of the Denizli region only during the early Miocene. A tectonic pulse in the basin during the early Miocene may have been very important to understand the limits of marine Tethyan infl uence in the area.
