Easternmost Mediterranean evidence of the zanclean flooding event and subsequent surface uplift: Adana basin, southern Turkey
According to the literature, the Adana Basin, at the easternmost part of the Mediterranean Basin in southern Turkey, records the Pliocene stage with shallow-marine to fluvial deposits. Our micropalaeontological analysis of samples from the Adana Basin reveal Late Lago-Mare biofacies with Paratethyan...
