Description (Dublin Core)

eng The Upper Jurassic sequence of the Aydincik (Içel) area consists of platform limestones which were deposited in a subtidal, restricted lagoon environment. Stratigraphic distribution of benthic foraminifera and calcareous algae, examined in thin-sections, is shown in a range-chart. The microfossil assemblage indicates the Salpingoporella sellii subzone of the Kurnubia palastiniensis cenozone, corresponding approximately to the lower part of the Malm. Some benthic foraminifera with considerable stratigraphic value within the Mesozoic Tethys are described. Among the benthic foraminifera, taxa of the family Pfenderinidae, especially the subfamily Kurnubiinae, are dominant and frequent throughout the sequence. The planispirally coiled taxa are represented by the families Nautiloculinidae, Charentiidae and Cyclamminidae (subfamily Bucciccrenatinae).
