Strontium Isotopic, Ostracod fauna, and Paleoenvironmental Features of the Late Miocene Sequence in Mut/Dağpazarı Region (Southern Turkey)
The primary focus of this study was the Dağpazarı village in the Mut region of Mersin, southern Turkey. In this research area, two stratigraphic sections were meticulously measured. The study conducted a comprehensive examination of the Middle-Late Miocene period in the Dağpazarı, Ballı, and Mut For...

Furthermore, the planktonic foraminifera species are; O. universa, Globigerinoides trilobus, Glb. ruber, Orbulina bilobata, Glb. sacculifer, O. suturalis, and the formation includes abundant bryozoa, echinoid spines, gastropods such as Terebralia at distinct levels, and fish otolith. The formation, dating from the late Serravallian to the early Tortonian, exhibits the shallow reef characteristics that continued to develop in the late Miocene.The formation consists of dark green, bulbous weathered claystone, Bairdia subdeltoidea and Ostrea which are reduced in size at the levels that pass into hard clayey sandstone, abundant benthic foraminifera with abundant echinoid spines.
