The Cretaceous Tertiary Boundary In South Eastern Turkey

Year 1953, Volume: 4 Issue: 1, 27 - 40, 31.01.1953

Abraham Ten Dam

Abstract

During the course of a study of the foraminiferal fauna from the argillaceous-marly beds of the Germav Formation in South Eastern Turkey, formation constitung the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, apparently deposited in continuous sedimedtation, the problem has arisen what age must be attributed to these beds. Since the same problem exists almost everywhere in the mediterranean region, as well in Egypt and French North Africa, as the other countries of the Near East, and since a definite solution of this problem is far from acquired, it seems useful to present here a short note on this problem as far as Turkey is cancerned.
The paleontological study of the argiltaceous marly beds of the Germav Formation has been executed in the Micropaleontological Laboratory of M.T.A. Enstitüsü at Ankara during the winter season of 1951-1952 by Dr. A.ten Dam. A study of the underlying massive limestones will be done by Dr. A. S. Erk.

Abstract

Cenup doğu Türkiyede görünüşe göre devamlı bir teressüp neticesi olarak husule gelen Germav şayilleri foraminiferlerini tetkik ederken bu formasiyonun yaşı probleminin Akdeniz havzasında şimalî Afrika, Mısır, Suriye, Lübnan ve Filistinde de mevcut olması dolayısiyle bu meselenin Türkiyedeki durumu üzerinde M.T.A. laboratuvarlarında incelemeler yapılmıştır. Bu bölgede Germav formasyonu 800 metre kadar bir kalınlık arzeder. Üstünde kırmızı Gercüş formasiyonu altında bazen orbitoitli kalker bazen kırmızı yeşil tabakalar bazen de kısmen dolomitli olan masif kalker bulunmaktadır. Germav formasiyonunun iist kısmı alt Eosen alt kısmı üst kretasedir. Sahada bazı yerlerde glokonitli bir tabakanın iist kretase ile alt Eoseni ayırdığı görülür. Germavın iist ve orta kısımlarını teşkil eden 500 metrede bulunan 87 espes bir Paleosen yaşına işaret etmektedir. Buna mukabil alt Germavda bulunan 102 espes kati surette iist kretaseye işaret etmektedir. Bunlar arasında Danyen görülmediğinden ve iki grup mikrofosil arasında bariz bir fauna değişikliği olmasından Germavda Daniyene tekabül eden bir boşluk olduğuna binaenaleyh Daniyenin mevcut olmadığı neticesine varılmaktadır.
