ENVIRONMENTAL INTERPRETATION OF THE OSTRACODA FAUNA FROM THE UPPER MIOCENE-PLIOCENE SEQUENCE IN THE KARAMAN REGION

Abstract

In this study the ostracoda fauna of the Upper Miocene-Pliocene sedimentary units have been considered aspects. According to ostracoda fauna-the Neogene sequence of the region has been deposited in different environments ranging gradually from shallow marine through littoral and Lagoon to lacustrine within short intervals resulting from continuous lowering of the sea-level.
