Abstract. It is commonly accepted that the mass extinction associated with Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary (∼ 66 Ma) related to environmental effects of a large extraterrestrial impact. The biological and oceanographic consequences are, however, still poorly understood. According Living Ocean model, crisis at K–Pg resulted in long-term reduction export productivity early Paleocene. Here, we combine organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) benthic foraminiferal analyses provide new...
Western Anatolia is a complex assemblage of terranes, including the Sakarya Terrane and Tauride-Anatolide Platform that collided during late Cretaceous Palaeogene (80–25 Ma) after closure Izmir-Ankara Ocean. Determining precise timing at which this ocean closed particularly important to test kinematic reconstructions geodynamic models Mediterranean region, chronology suturing its mechanisms remain controversial. Here, we document Cretaceous-Eocene sedimentary history Central Basin, along...
The sediment of Lake Çubuk in NW Anatolia, which is situated very close to the climate boundary between dry Central Anatolia and wet Marmara region, regarded as a suitable archive test inward outward movements this accordance with past variations. Herein, we study stratigraphic record last 2800 years landslide-dammed lake at 1030 m elevation, using multi-proxy tools (sedimentology, major trace element geochemistry, stable isotopes, pollen, diatoms ostracods) compare results other...
The best preserved Permian-Triassic boundary beds in Turkey are found the Hadim region of central Taurides. succession is exposed one allochthonous units Tauride Belt, Aladag Unit, whose stratigraphy includes ranging from Devonian to Cretaceous systems. In entirely composed carbonates. Permian portion these belongs Paradagmarita Zone, whereas lowermost Triassic contains Lower Griesbachian marker Rectocornuspira kalhori . uppermost carbonates, meter-scale upward shallowing subtidal cycles,...
The frontal belt of the southeastern Anatolia fold-thrust in Turkey contains several small to mid-size oilfields, producing from carbonate reservoirs Cretaceous Mardin group. Many these fields are found along narrow, asymmetrical anticlinal structures, associated with formation belt. Çemberlitaş oil field Adıyaman, Turkey, is one most important oilfields region. It produces Upper Derdere and Karababa formations We have conducted a detailed study microfacies, depositional environments,...
Abstract The International Geoscience Programme Project IGCP 609 addressed correlation, causes and consequences of short-term sea-level fluctuations during the Cretaceous. Processes causing several ka to Ma (third- fourth-order) oscillations Cretaceous are so far poorly understood. proved existence cycles potential ice sheet-free greenhouse hothouse climate phases. These were most probably controlled by aquifer-eustasy that is altering land-water storage owing groundwater aquifer charge...
Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian)–Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) inner platform carbonates in the Western Taurides are composed of metre-scale upward-shallowing cyclic deposits (parasequences) and important karstic surfaces capping some cycles. Peritidal cycles (shallow subtidal facies capped by tidal-flat laminites or fenestrate limestones) regressive- transgressive-prone (upward-deepening followed trends). Subtidal two types indicate incomplete shallowing. Submerged deeper overlain shallow...
