Abstract

The Late Devonian Gümüşali formation of the eastern Taurides is a terrigenous-carbonate rock sequence about 600 m thick, consisting mainly of quartz sandstone, quartz siltstone, shale, and carbonate rocks. Palaeontologic and sedimentologic data mainly indicate a shallow subtidal depositional environment. This sequence generally represents the shallow-water polygnathid-icriodid biofacies, and contains conodont faunas that range from the Upper falsiovalis Zone into the Upper praesulcata Zone. However, they do not correlate well to the Late Devonian standard conodont zonation because of the lack of zonally diagnostic species and the irregular vertical distributions of the present taxa. Herein, 54 taxa belonging to nine genera are described and illustrated from the studied section. Icriodus adanaensis, Icriodus fekeensis, and Polygnathus antecompressus are the newly described species.

Özet

Do¤u Toroslar boyunca yayg›n yüzeylemeleri olan Geç Devoniyen yafll› Gümüflali formasyonu, yaklafl›k 600 metre kal›nl›¤a ulaflan bir k›r›nt›l›-karbonat kaya dizisidir. Litolojisini bafll›ca kuvars kumtafl›, kuvars miltafl›, fleyl ve karbonat kayalar›n›n oluflturdu¤u bu birimin paleontolojik ve sedimantolojik özellikleri, çökelmenin bafll›ca s›¤, gelgit alt› ortamda geliflti¤ine iflaret eder. Konodont faunas› genellikle k›y›-yak›n› polygnathid-icriodid biyofasiyesini temsil eder, ve Üst falsiovalis Zonu’ndan Üst praesulcata Zonu içine kadar uzanan bir aral›¤› temsil eder. Bununla beraber, zon belirleyici taksonlar›n yoklu¤u ve mevcut taksonlar›n düzensiz dikey da¤›l›m›ndan dolay›, Geç Devoniyen standard konodont zonlamas› ile tam bir korelasyon sa¤lanamam›flt›r. ‹ncelenen stratigrafik kesitteki kireçtafl› katmanlar›ndan al›nan 107 örnekten, 9 cinse ait toplam 54 tür ve alttür tan›mlanm›flt›r. Tan›mlanan taksonlardan 3 tanesi (Icriodus adanaensis n.sp., Icriodus fekeensis n.sp. ve Polygnathus antecompressus n.sp.) yeni türdür.
