Abstract: During the course of a study of the foraminiferal fauna from the argillaceous-marly beds of the Germav Formation in South Eastern Turkey,formation constitung the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, apparently deposited in continuous sedimedtation, the problem has arisen what age must beattributed to these beds. Since the same problem exists almost everywherein the mediterranean region, as well in Egypt ,and French North Africa, asthe other countries of the Near East, ,and since a definite solution of thisproblem is far from acquired, it seems useful to present here a short noteon this problem as far as Turkey is cancerned.The paleontological study of the argiltaceous marly beds of the GermavFormation has been executed in the Micropaleontological Laboratory ofM.T.A. Enstitüsü at Ankara during the winter season of 1951-1952 by Dr.A.ten Dam. A study of the underlying massive limestones will be done byDr. A. S. Erk.
