Abundant, very diverse, and well-preserved Nassellarian fauna has been obtained from cherty/clayey limestone levels at the basal part of the Kö seyahya nappe east of the town of Elbistan, Eastern Taurides. A comparison with the radiolarian faunas of Austria, Japan and Turkey allows us to assign a middle Carnian age to this radiolarian fauna from th...

The Mersin Mélange, located in southern Turkey north-west of the city of Mersin, includes blocks and tectonic slices of different origins. The Kilek section in the Mersin Mélange was sampled for a thorough examination of its lithology, biostratigraphy and fossil content. Two samples from the cherty limestone layers within the Huglu Tuffites at the top of the section yielded a rich silicified ostracod fauna of late Early Carnian (based on a two-fold Carnian subdivision) or middle Middle Carnian age (based on a three-fold Carnian subdivision), deposited in an open marine environment, in the outer platform-upper slope zone. We report 121 ostracod species belonging to 53 genera. Two new genera are described: Edithobairdia Forel gen. nov. and Gencella Forel gen. nov., as well as 16 new species: Acanthoscapha mersinella Forel sp. nov., Bairdia hugluensis Forel sp. nov., Acratia kollmanni Forel sp. nov., Citrella? carniana Forel sp. nov., Cytheropteron? schornikovi Forel sp. nov., Eucytherura lacerata Forel sp. nov., Gencella taurensis Forel sp. nov., Kerocythere dorsidenticulata Forel sp. nov., Kerocythere tricostata Forel sp. nov., Monoceratina praevulsaformis Forel sp. nov., Patellacythere tourkosella Forel sp. nov., Polycope kilekensis Forel sp. nov., Ptychobairdia praekristanae Forel sp. nov., Simeonella daginikella Forel sp. nov., Spinomicrocheilinella reliquiaella Forel sp. nov. and Triassocythere tavuscayiriensis Forel sp. nov. The diagnosis of Acratia goemoeryi Kozur is emended. The Kilek fauna retains primitive characteristics illustrated by the first known occurrence of Palaeocopida and Rectonariidae (typical Palaeozoic forms) in the Late Triassic, associated with typical Triassic–modern elements such as thick-shelled and ornamented Bairdiidae and diverse Cytheroidea known from the Middle and Late Triassic worldwide. The unique composition of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic taxa from the Kilek section illustrates unexpected long-term survival in a deep-sea refuge zone following the end-Permian extinction, and the diachronous character of the ostracod recovery in different environments. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org.pub:662C3D5C–2B86–4D7B–BDB5–8F8B6A1AD1E7

The Turunç Unit, which represents one of the tectonic slices within the Lycian Nappes in southwestern Anatolia, preserves the remnants derived from the northern branch of Neotethys. The unit includes basalts intercalated with pelagic limestones of middle Carnian age (early Late Triassic) based on the characteristic radiolarian assemblage of the Tetraporobrachia haeckeli Zone. The Turunç lavas reflect trace element signatures resembling those fromsubduction zones, displaying selective enrichment of Th and light rare earth elements over high-field strength elements and heavy rare earth elements. Considering the overall geochemical characteristics of the Turunç basalts and given that they are found to be associated with no continent-derived detritus, the Turunç lavas appear to represent fragments of a Late Triassic island arc formed on the Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere. This result is of particular importance, since it reflects the oldest subduction age obtained from the entire Neotethyan realm to date. It may further indicate that the Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere had already been formed by the early Late Triassic, thus suggesting a pre-early Late Triassic oceanization of the northern branch of Neotethys. On the basis of this, we also suggest that the initial rifting leading to the opening of the northern branch of Neotethys should have taken place during the Middle Triassic or earlier.

The study area located in Bucakkışla region in Central Taurides consists of rock units of the melange which form Bozkır unit of the Tauride units and the overlying cover rocks. There are volcanic, ophiolitic and sedimentary rocks which generated in different environmental conditions. These rock groups comprise units which formed in Middle- Upper Triassic-Paleocene periods in Inner Tauride Ocean that had been opened between Tauride – Anatolide continents. Within the scope of this study, lithostratigraphic characteristics of Huğlu, Boyalı tepe, Korualan nappes and cover rocks which form Bozkır Unit and tectono sedimentary evolution of the study area was built up by paleontological and structural features. Due to rifting, which started in Middle Upper Triassicin the region, the products of the rift volcanism in rifting center and the carbonate deposition on margins of basin have occurred. The continuation of extension which initiated rifting caused collapse in the basin in Middle Upper Triasic – Lower Senonian. Deep marine deposition has occurred at the center of basin, however pelagic and neritic limestones were deposited in basin margins during this time. The region has become compressed by the effect of a new tectonical regime which had been effective starting from Santonian. This compression caused new melanges to take place due to reverse faults and thrust. The formation of these melanges has continued until the end of Paleocene period. However, there has not been observed any formation depending on the compression in post Paleocene. The nappes have moved southward by the effect of compression until Eocene. But then, these nappes could not advance forward anymore so, northward back thrusts took place as basin was closured andreached the collisional stage. Sequences which had become imbricated structures by back thrusts were subjected to collapsing by the stop of compression and the gravitational effect. All sequences in the imbricated structure were cut by dip slip normal faults and lacustrine basins were formed on fallen blocks. The formation of Early Oligocene terrestrial deposits in these lakes indicates that the collapse occurred in Oligocene or immediately before this time, and this allows the dating of new tectonical period. Early Oligocene deposits to become tilted by dip slip faults show that new tectonic period in the region has also continued after Oligocene.

The present article is a taxonomic study of all spongy spumellarian radiolarian taxa with three and four coplanar spines or spongy arms occurring in the middle Carnian from the Köseyahya section, near the town of Elbistan, SE Turkey. This fauna is characteristic of the Tetraporobrachia haeckeli radiolarian Zone, and comes from an 8 m thick succession of clayey-cherty limestones occurring at the lower part of the section. In addition, a few species from the Middle and Upper Triassic from other areas have been also included in this study to improve some generic diagnoses, and to better comprehend the diversity and evolutionary trends of some genera, subfamilies and families. The taxonomy at the generic and suprageneric levels is based primarily on the types of microsphere. This new approach allowed new taxonomic arrangements of genera and suprageneric units, and suggested new phylogenetic relationships among these radiolarians and between them and younger radiolarians. The authors discuss and describe 69 species, of which 37 are new, and 14 genera, of which three are new (Paraparonaella, Pseudangulobracchia, and Ropanaella). The genus Triassoastrum and others are reinterpreted. All genera studied are assigned to five subfamilies, of which two are new (Tetrapaurinellinae and Triassocrucellinae), and two families (Tritrabidae and Veghicycliidae). Nine species in open nomenclature are also illustrated.

This article reports on the few cases of Siamese twins of Mesozoic Radiolaria found by the author during his entire activity as a micropaleontologist and by previous authors. Such cases are extremely rare: a single case is known from the Middle Triassic (late Anisian) nassellarians, while cases of spumellarians have been found from the Middle Triassic (Anisian), the Late Jurassic (early Tithonian) and the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian), and entactinarian cases are known from the Late Jurassic (early Tithonian) Saturnalidae. The already known case of the Oxfordian nassellarian species Parvicingula dhimenaensis, considered to represent Siamese twins with four joined individuals, has been proved to be a very interesting case of reparation of a damaged specimen during its growth. The author also discusses the different types of Siamese twin radiolarians and the relations between their silicification and binary fission of the central capsule.RésuméL’article présente les rares cas de squelettes siamois de radiolaires mésozoïques trouvés par l’auteur au cours de son activité de micropaléontologue ainsi que par d’autres auteurs. Ces cas sont rarissimes : un seul cas est connu parmi les nassellaires du Trias Moyen (Anisien supérieur), alors que plusieurs cas sont décrits chez les spumellaires du Trias moyen (Anisien), du Jurassique supérieur (Tithonien inférieur) et du Crétacé supérieur (Cénomanien) et d’autres cas encore sont décrits chez des entactinaires de la famille des Saturnalidae du Jurassique supérieur (Tithonien inférieur). Le cas déjà connu de l’espèce oxfordienne Parvicingula dhimenaensis, considéré comme un squelette siamois avec quatre individus accolés au niveau de l’ouverture, s’est révélé être un cas très intéressant de réparation d’un individu brisé pendant sa croissance. L’auteur discute aussi les différents types de squelettes siamois et des relations entre leur silicification et la fission de la capsule centrale.

The geochemical features of spilitic basalts and the radiolarian fauna of associated pelagic sediments have been studied from two different sections of the Alakirçay Nappe of the Antalya Nappes, SW Turkey. The first section in Cukurkoy is located in the eastern part of the Antalya Gulf and includes thick spilitic basalts, overlain by an alternation of mudstone, marl and pelagic cherty limestone. Radiolarian data from the cherty limestone in this unit reveals a middle Carnian age for this section. The second section in Yaylakuzdere is situated in the western part of the Antalya Gulf. In this section, thick pillow basalts are overlain by a succession of limestone/cherty limestone and shale beds. The age of the limestones interlayered with the pillow basalts was assigned to the late Carnian, whereas the basal part of the overlying cherty limestones was dated as latest Carnian/earliest Norian by conodont and radiolarian faunas. The pillow lavas in the çukurköy and Yaylakuzdere regions consist of within-plate type alkaline basalts and display multi-element pattern similar to typical oceanic island basalts (OIB). Low La/Yb, Zr/Y and La/Nb < 1 ratios are also indicative for an OIB-like deep mantle source. These alkaline basalts have not suffered interactions with a subducted slab and/or continental crust due to presence of high HFSE abundance, the lack of depletion in Nb and Ta that are characteristics of subduction and/or crustal contamination processes. Based on this data, it can be concluded that alkaline volcanism in these two regions of the Antalya Nappes have been probably generated by a small OIBtype mantle plume during the middle - late Carnian time interval, in the advanced stages of rifting of the Antalya Nappes successions in the southern branch of Neotethys. This data reveals the generation of a rift basin before middle Carnian for this ocean.
