First record of Crassostrea cyathula Lamarck 1806 from �the Rupelian-Lower Chattian of Sarıbuğday-Kovancılar� (NE Palu) Eastern Taurids, E Turkey
‘Sarıbuğday-Kovancılar (KD Palu) Rüpeliyen−Erken Şattiyen’inden’ Crassostrea cyathula (Lamarck 1806)‘ın İlk Kaydı, Doğu Toroslar, D Türkiye
These oyster specimens are also the first abundant macrofossils from the Oligocene sediments of the Sarıbuğday-Kovancılar section, which were formerly only recorded by micropalaeontological data.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Crassostrea cyathula (Lamarck 1806), a valuable biostratigraphic marker, was found for the first time in eastern Turkey (Eastern Mediterranean), in the Rupelian-Lower Chattian sedimentary sequences of northeastern Palu, Elazığ region, and its palaeoecological characters, palaeobiogeographic and stratigraphic distribution are discussed.

Özet
Elazığ bölgesinde Palu’nun kuzeydoğusunda (D Türkiye, D Akdeniz), Rüpeliyen−Erken Şattiyen sedimenter istiflerinde ilk defa tanımlanan Crassostrea cyathula (Lamarck 1806)’ın paleoekolojik özellikleri, paleobiyocoğrafik ve stratigrafik dağılımı tartışılmıştır. Mikropaleontolojik veriler ile de desteklenen bu bulgu, Sarıbuğday-Kovancılar kesitinde Oligosen çökelleri içindeki ilk ostrealı makrofosillerdir.
