Abstract: The sequence ranges from Precambrian to upper-most Cainozoic in the investigated area.Their total thickness is about 12000 meters. Units of Precambrian age consist of mctabasîc, amphibolitesand banded gneisses and they crop out on Kaplandededağ and Sünicedağ. Paleozoic units have two depositional periods. The first period begins in Cambrian and ends at the beginnig of Silurian with a regression. The second one begins in Silurian with a transgression and end in Upper Carboniferous with a regression. In Çamdağ area, rock of Devoian age begin with a transgression and overlie rocks of, Ordovician-Lower Silurian age with an angular unconformity. In Kaplandedcdağ-north of Düverdüzü Village, rocksof Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician overlie the units of Precambrian age with a primary stratigraphie contact. Ordovician units arc composed of red mudstones, siltones and conglomerates. Black shalesof Silurian age interbedded with bluish black limes to nes overlie the Ordovician and Lower Silurian sediments with an angular unconformity. The contact, between Silurian and Devonian is concordant and/ortransitional* Devonian-Carboniferous boundary is tra nsitional in the Zonguldak subarea, Middle-Upper Carboniferous deposists do not crop out in the investiga ted area, because of Precambrian and Lower Paleozoic uplifts, Permotriassic sediments which were de posited in continental and near shore-shallow marineenvironments overlie older sediments with an angular unconformity. The Upper Jurassic and LowerCretaceous rocks overlap the uplift taking place in eastern part of Ereğli-Dikmentepe Hill and do notextend westwards. Island arc volcanic activity which belongs to north dipping Neotethyan subduction zone, started in Cenomanîan and ended in Eocene, Sediments of Eocene age begin with angular unconformity and show different fades in investigation area. Continental rock units were deposited duringPliocene in the region which was eroded during Oli go-Miocene.Gi^anitoids and diabasic rocks which are older than Upper Jurassic crop out around Orhandağ andSünnİcedağ Mountains.
Abstract: The fossils of brackish beds of Muş and Aladağ regions of Eastern Anatolia was investigated : It was mainly dealed with Leusiccus (Palaeoleociscus) eoningensis AG. Furthermore, mollusca oflimnic waters which contain maximum 0,3 % Salt Such as genuses of planorbarius, Gyraulus and Congeria; Ostracoda Cyprideis torosa (JONES, 1850) and four leaf fossils were found. Those fossils had livedfrom Upper Miocene to Pliocene.
Abstract: The present study is a research on calcareous nannoplankton from the Upper Eocene -Lower Oligocene sediments of the Korkuteli Region which are represented by alternating marl, limestone and sandstone. Fourty-eight nannoplankton species have been defined in this sequence and thetollowing six nannoplankton zones have been distinguished :Upper Eocene: Sphenolithus pseudoradians zone, Isthmolithus recurvus zone Chiasmolithus oamaruensis zone, Discoaster saipanensis zone, Lower Oligocene : Helicopontosphaera reticulata zone, Ericsonia subdisticha zone.The Eocene/Oligoccne boundry can be defined by the last occurrence of Discoaster barbadiensisand Discoaster saipanensis. Also, results were correlated with the other studies for the same stratigraphic level of the world. The study showed that nannoplankton association belongs to the temperate rather than tropic region.Globigerinatheka somiinvoluta zone, Globorotalia cerroazulensis cerroazulensis zone in the UpperEocene and Cassigerella chipolensis/Pseudohastigeri na micra zone in the Lower Oligocene sedimentswere determined. These planktonic foraminifera zones were also correlated with the nannoplanktonzones.
Abstract: In this study, the palynologie characteristics of the coal and shale units occuring in thealluvial and lake deposits of the Miocene succession in the east of Akhisar have been examined. TheMiocene succession in this area has been separated in the Göcek, Yeniköy, Küçükderbent, Karaboldereand Ahmetler formations in the ascending order.Nine stratigraphie sections have been examined in this study which are located in the coal horizonof the Yeniköy Formation, Çakmaklık member of the Ahmetler Formation and in the Çıtak memberof the Karaboldere Formation, Out of 136 samples examined, 60 of them are found rich in sporomorph.From 22 genuses and 71 species that are determined, 9 genuses and 9 species belong to pollen.The recognition of the sporomorphs fossilized in reducing conditions which were probably poor inoxygen and light, suggests a fresh-water and a swamp environment. The sporomorph content of the coaldeposits also indicate a plant assemblage which was grown in a warm and moist climatic conditions,
Abstract: This investigation aims at the systematic description of Lepidoeyclina gigas Cuchman, thelargest known from of the Lepidocyclinidae (Foraminifera) family with Central American origin, in addition to its biostratigraphical position and paleoecology in Turkey,The samples related to this species which are located at Muş-Bulanık (Mollababa village), Kadirli(Adana) and Andırın (K, Maraş) regions have large tests consisting of selliforms having 5 cm diameters. Test surface is covered pentagonal lateral chamber traces, The first chamber is microspherical.Neanic chambers are hexagonal - arc type. In axial, section, weak pillar formations and irregular lateralchamber lines are observed.This species exists together with such bentic foraminifera as Lepidocyeylina (Eitlepidina) bridgeiCole, L. (Nephrolepidina) verbeeki (New-Holl), Miogy psinoides dehaarti Van der Vlerk and M, grandipus*tulus Cole in Lower Miocene (Burdigalian) while its stratigraphical leva! in Central America is MiddleUpper Oligocène and in Somali Upper Oligocene-Lo wer Miocene,It is generally observed that, in the same sedim entary rocks that house I» gigas Cushman, thereexist next to it the bentic organism groups formed by kind and species of families such as Miogypsinidae, Lepidocyclinidae, Nummulitidae, Alveolinidae and Peneroplidae, and by forms related to Coelenterata (hermatype), Pelecypoda, Gastropoda, Echino dermata and red algea. These fauna have lived inthe recifal environments of the tropical-subtropical seas of the Burdigalian (Lower Miocene) according tothe Coelënterate (hermatype) and red algea.
Abstract: Trabzonite, ideally Ca4Si3O10.2H2O, has been found near îkizdere at NW of Varda Yaylası(Rize) (near Trabzon country) - Turkey and occurs in skarn produced by granitic intrusion in volcanosedimentary formations. Associated minerals are : spurrite, rustumite, perovskite, calcite, vesuvianite,tobermorite, garnet, defernite, killalaite, hillebrandite and molybdenite. The crystals, colourless, are smallirregular or hypidiomorphs from 0.1 to 0.2 mm with a white streak and lustre vitreous; transparent.The hardness could not be measured because of small size. Chemical composition determined byelectron microprobe is: CaO 50.2, MgO 0.13, MnO 0,04, Na2O 0.3, A12O3 0.05, SiO2 4038 and H2O7(weight loss), Total 98,1 %.

Abstract: The NE-SW oriented, funnel-shaped area, which extends from Bolu in southwest to Kastamonu in northeast, and filled with Eocene to Post - Eocene deposits, has been named as Karabük - Safranbolu Tertiary basin.In its southwest section, both northern and southern and southern margins of the basin are tectonicin character, and therefore, much more narrower, The northwestern margin of basin displays diversecharacteristics such as thrust fault, overturned fold and angular unconformity.In the Karabük region, sediments of in this ba sin are shallow marine deposits of Lower Lutetianage and fluvial deposits. These rocks have been divided in six formations and four members, andnamed separately,The present shape of basin has been formed at the end of Upper Lutetian; it has characteristics of anintermontane basin. Since the Upper Pliocene time, it might has been uplifted at least twice.
Abstract: Canik volcanics consist of generally basaltic and locally andesitic rocks. Basaltic rockscontain plagioclase, pyroxene and olivine phenoerysts, with a groundmass of piagioelase, olivine, pyroxene and opaque mineral microlites and volcanic glass; andesitic rocks contain small plagioclase andpyroxene phenocrysts with a groundmass of plagioclase, pyrexene and opaque mineral microlites.Samples of basaltic rocks indicate that they have subalkaline character with respect to their totalalkalies-silica contents; tholeiitic series character with respect to Äl2Qrnormativ6 plagioclase compostt ions; cotaminated magma tic character with respect to ¥1 and F2 discriminant functions; and a complexpetrochemhical character pointing to a sialic origin with respect to % values. Incompatible and traceelement chemistry (particularly K, Ti, Rb, Sr, Zr, Y, Nb contents and Ti/Y, Zr/Y, Y/Nb, K/Rb ratios)indicate that voleanies show similarities to continental tholeiitic basalts and they are subjected to theprocesses of crustal contamination and magmatic differentiation.With all these petrochemical data, it is thought that Canik volcanics are related to underplatingwhich was developed by partial melting of the up the effects of compression tectonics and originatefrom a magma of gabbroic composition which is formed by the intrusion of picritic source magma,which was devloped by partial melting of the upper mantle, in the upper levels of crust-mantleboundary as a series of sills and its differentiation,
