A Study of The Pontian Fauna of Gökdere (Elmadağı), Sauth-East of Ankara

Abstract

The fossiliferous site of Gökdere, which is near the village of Evciler Ağılları, about 28 kilometers south-east of the city of Ankara, in a straight line, and south of Elmadağı, was first discovered by the geologist, Oğuz Erol in 1948, during the preparation of his doctorate thesis. I, at first, arranged a students' excursion to this place in 1951, and afterwards paid a second visit, together with Mrs. E. Şenyürek, in the same year. I have already published a preliminary report on the fossils found during these two visits
