Abstract

This study considers the trace fossils within the Early-Middle Eocene turbiditic submarine aluvial fan deposits of the Cingöz formation around Karaisalı-Çatalan-Eğner to the N of Adana. Regarding the morphological characteristics twenty trace fossils are described. From these, fourteen are determined as ichnogenus (Arthrophycus tenius, Halopoa annulata, Nereites irregularis, Cosmorhaphe sinuosa, Helminthorhaphe flexuosa, Helicolithus tortuosus, Desmograpton dertonensis, Desmograpton ichthyforme, Urohelminthoida dertonensis, Paleodictyon strozzii, Paleodictyon delicatulum, Paleodictyon majus, Paleodictyon croaticum, Paleodictyon submontanum), and six of ichnospecies (Phymatoderma isp., Lophoctenium isp., Helminthopsis isp., Desmograpton isp., Paleodictyon isp., ?Megagrapton isp., ) level.
