A pateontotogic-stratigraphic
study based primarly on the pelecypod and gastropod fauna was carried out at
Pınarhisar (Kırklareli) and its surrounding, for which previous researchers
have put forward various ideas, by taking into consideration tha ages of the
Tertiary sediments and their relation with the Tethis which crop out in the
region. In the stratigraphic cross-section made using 8 measurements; 15, 5 and
6 species of molluscan fauna were observed in the İslambeyli formation,
Kırklareli limestone and Pınarhisar formation respectively: The ages of the
formations were once again taken into consideration under the light of all
paleontologic data, and an approximated age was given by evaluating both the
paleontological and stratigraphic conditions. The following conclusions were
made: The age of the İslambeyli formation which represents the base of the
Tertiary sediments is Early Priabonian, the age of the Kırklareli limestone
which conformably overlies the İslambeyli formation and which represents the
reef carbonates is Late Priabonian and the age of the Pınarhisar formation
which unconformably overlies the Kırklareli limestone and which has
shelf-margin and shallow sea properties, is Stampian. It was also concluded
that the age of the Balıklı serie, which conformably continues over the
Pınarhisar formation, is -Stampian as well, according to the paleogeographic
distribution of the present molluscan fauna, It can be seen that the majority
of it is completely the same with those in the Balcan countries; a minonty of
it is also seen in the Western European countries in Eocene. In the Oligocene,
where it is not abundantly seen, the fact that the basin contains completely
the same fauna with Bulgaria shows that it is, within the area of spread of the
Paratethis.
