A New Triassic Finding in the Eastern Taurids
Abstract: Theplatform carbonates cropping out to the southest of Sivas are named under different litostratigraphic names and assigned to different ages. In this study, according to foraminifers (Auloconus permodiscoides,Aulotortus communis, A.friedli, A. sinuosııssinuosııs, Triasina hantkeni, Trochammina sp. aff. T alpina, T sp. aff.Tjaunensis), a Norian-Rhaetian age was discovered in this carbonate succession. The correlation of Munzur and Sivas sections suggests that these carbonates should be namedas the Munzur Limestone.
