PRESENCE OF CRASSOSTREA GRYPHOIDES (SCHLOTHEIM) FROM THE LOWERMIDDLE MIOCENE SEQUENCE OF KAHRAMANMARAŞ BASIN (SE TURKEY); ITS TAXONOMY, PALEOECOLOGY AND PALEOGEOGRAPHY
The taxonomy, paleoecology and palaeogeography of the Neogene ostreid bivalve Crassostrea gryphoides (Schlotheim), and its paleogeographic effect the larval development from the Late Burdigalian-Early Langhian Salyan formation of the northwestern Kahramanmaraş Basin (southeastern Turkey) are discussed.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:The Miocene rocks of the Salyan formation between the Salyan and Ahmetcik village in southeastern Turkey and northeastern Kahramanmaraş, contain Miocene bivalves and gastropods typical of the Tethys provence.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The abundant and generally well-preserved bivalves are dominated by Crassostrea gryphoides (Schlotheim).
💡
Conclusion & Impact:The taxonomy, paleoecology and palaeogeography of the Neogene ostreid bivalve Crassostrea gryphoides (Schlotheim), and its paleogeographic effect the larval development from the Late Burdigalian-Early Langhian Salyan formation of the northwestern Kahramanmaraş Basin (southeastern Turkey) are discussed.
