Çaltepe Limestone and Seydişehir Formation which are known from Seydişehir area (Northern Central Taurus) crop out also near Hadim, (Konya) through a tectonic fenster. In this latter locality dark colored shales, unknown from Seydişehir area, form the basal part of the sequence. The sequence ther is overturned and the shales are seen above Çaltepe Limestone along Göksu valley. Arenigian trilobites were found in Seydişehir Formation in Seydişehir atea (Dean and Monod, 1970). The same formation yielded Upper Cambrian (Hertzina bisulcata, Oneotodus tenuis, Oneotodus gallatini, Acodus cambricus) and Lower Ordovician (Drepanodus homocurvaltus, Drepanodus planus )conodonts and Acrotretid brachiopoda in Hadim area where these Lower Paleozoic rocks are directly and uncomformably overlain by Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous limestones. Lower Paleozoic of Central and Eastern Taurus, of Southeastern Anatolia and of Amanos mountains exhibit very similar stratigraphical and lithological characteristics.
