Abstract: This study concerns the recently discovered marine Oligocene series in Palu (NE of Elazığ) region emphasizing its stratigraphy and systematic study of its characteristic foraminifera.The rock units of Upper Cretaceous, Oligocene, Lower Miocene and Pliocene ages crop out in Palu ragion (NE of Elazığ). Upper Cretaceous sequence is composed of diorite, sedimentary rocks, spilite, serpentinite and albite - diabaseunits.The ophiolitic sequence is unconformably overlain by the Gevla Çayı Formation of Oligocene age. Gevla Çayı Formalion is composed of alternating conglomerate, sandstone, marl and Nummulitic limestone beds. This formation is unconformably ( ?) overlain by Okçular Formation of Lower Miocene age which is composed of algal and coral limestone.Systematic studies of Nummulites fichteli, Lepidocyclina (Eulepidina) dilatata Michelotti, Lepidocyclina (Eulepidina)favosa Cushman and Halkyardia maxima Cimerman, which are found in Gevla Çayı Formation, are given.
