In this study, 37
numbers of gastropoda species which were found in the Uçarsu and Kasaba formations
outcroping in the Kasaba Miocene basin, have been determined systematically and
their paleogeographic distributions have been told. Species, which were found
into the Uçarsu formation such as Turntella
terebralis turritissima Sacco, Turritella
terebralis subagibbosa Sacco, Turritella
(Peyrotia) desmarestina Basterot, Turbonilla
(Mormula) aturensis (Cossmann
ve Peyrot), Cassidaria tauropomum (Sacco) and Vexillum (Uromitra) pluricostata percostulata (Sacco) belonging to
Early Miocene, they haven't been known in the Middle Miocene. Cerithium zejszneri Pusch which was found into the Kasaba
formation is a species peculiar to Middle Miocene. According to this, the age
of Uçarsu formation as Upper Burdigalian and the age of Kasaba formation as Langhian
have been accepted. A great deal of the investigated gastropod fauna distributed
both in Tethys and Central Paratethys during early and middle Miocene. Most of
the fauna such as Turritella (Turritella) tricarinata (Brocchi 1814), Turritella terebralis turritissima Sacco, Turritella terebralis subagibbosa Sacco, Turritella (Haustator) striatellatus Sacco, Turritella (Peyrotia) desmarestina Basterot, Turbonilla (Mormula) aturensis (Cossmann ve
Peyrot), Cassidaria tauropomum (Sacco), Mitrella (Macrurella) cf. nassoides
grateloupi (Peyrot).
Vexillum (Uromitra) pluricostata
percostulata (Sacco),
Clavatula (Clavatula) calcarata
francisci (Toula).
Conus conoponderosus (Sacco) and Conus clavatulus d'Orbigny only displays widespreading only
in Tethys Tethian origine fauna and and typical species demonstrate that the
study area is part of the Proto- Mediterranean - Atlantic biogeographic
provence. In the study region, the species which are known only Central
Paratethian marine stages have been found. Cerithium
zejszneri Pusch
found in Kasaba formation, is peculiar to Lower Badenian and Murex (Bolinus) subtorularius Homes ve Auinger is
a species characteristic for Karpatian and Badenian. This situation shows wide
connection and faunal immigrations also from western central paratethvs to mediterrane
