WOS: 000346296000008, The Karadere area to the east of Safranbolu in NW Anatolia is one of the very few localities in Turkey where the contact between the Cadomian basement and the Lower Palaeozoic transgressive succession is well exposed. The Ordovician graptolite Rhabdinopora flabelliformis (Eichwald) ssp. was found in the basal part of the Bakacak Formation, indicating an Early to early Late Tremadocian age for the beginning of the Palaeozoic transgression in the Zonguldak terrane. A few metres above this occurrence, another horizon contains Paradelograptus cf. antiquus (T. S. Hall), which mainly ranges into the Late Tremadocian. Higher up in the Ordovician succession, a new graptolite bed confirms an early Darriwilian (Dw1) age for the middle part of the Karadere Formation with the occurrence of the biozonal index Levisograptus austrodentatus (Harris & Keble) and the first record of Tetragraptus cor (Strandmark) in the area. The palaeobiogeographic distribution of these Karadere fossils is in agreement with a peri-Gondwanan affinity of the Zonguldak Terrane of the Pontides, NW Anatolia, during the Early-Middle Ordovician., teams of the TUBITAK-BAS joint-projectTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [102Y157]; Spanish MINECO [CGL2012-39471]; IGCP project [591], The authors gratefully acknowledge Iskra Lakova for her contributions to a former version of this study with a divergent content.

8 páginas, 2 figuras, 1 lámina., Darriwilian trilobites and graptolites from the Grohoten Formation (Svoge anticliorium, Sofia Stara Planina Mountain) are reviewed in the light of the new records and by direct examination of the original material reported by previous authors between 1934 and 1958 years. Middle Ordovician fossils are distributed in three stratigraphically successive assemblages. The oldest one derives from Lower Oretanian shales with nodules and consists of pendent and extensiform didymograptids (Didymograptus cf. artus, D. cf. spinulosus, D. s.l. ferrugineus), some biserials (Haddingograptus ?), a single benthic atheloptic trilobite (Placoparia balcanica n. sp.), and probably also of rare pelagic form Cyclopyge cf. kossleri. The middle assemblage which is dominated by pelagic trilobites such as Pricyclopyge binodosa binodosa, R binodosa prisca and Microparia sp., and sparse benthic elements (Ectillaenus sp.), is recorded from siltstones and silty shales that directly overlie a variously developed middle, quartzitic member. The presence both of the graptolite Didymograptus murchisoni and the rare biserial forms confirm an Upper Oretanian age for the association. Finally, the third and youngest Middle Ordovician palaeontological horizon is characterized by the occurence of the Dobrotivian cyclopygid trilobite Pricyclopyge binodosa longicephala, which derives from the settled shales and is located well below the latest assemblage of trilobites and brachiopods already of Berounian (Upper Ordovician) age. Closest comparisons of the Bulgarian trilobites are with the cyclopygid biofacies from the deep outer shelf settings of the peri-Gondwanan platform, shown by the record of some typical Bohemian taxa as P. binodosa prisca and P. binodosa longicephala., Proyectos: Nº 2001BG0005, 2001-2002. 602/1996 y 410 de PIGS (IUGS-UNESCO).

The Silurian-Lower Devonian succession in the Değirmentaş-Halevikdere section (E Taurides) shows considerable lithostratigraphic similarities to the three-partite subdivision, initially documented in the same stratigraphic interval in Saxo-Thuringia and later in other peri-Gondwanan terrains. The Llandovery-Wenlockian part of the studied section (ca. 40 m) is characterized by black graptolitic shales. The Llandoverian part is dominated by radiolarian ribbon cherts (ca. 20 m). The Rhuddanian Akidograptus ascensus, Parakidograptus acuminatus, and Cystograptus vesiculosus biozones have been recognized in its lower part, while in the upper part of the succession, the lowermost Telychian Rastrites linnaei Biozone has been documented. The Telychian Spirograptus turriculatus and Streptograptus crispus biozones, as well as the Sheinwoodian Cyrtograptus rigidus/Monograptus belophorus Biozone, have been identified within this succession. Graptolites of the Homerian (Colonograptus deubeli + Col. praedeubeli and Col. ludensis biozones) are only found in the Pekmezkoy and Gurleşen areas, in the black shales, immediately before the first ocher-colored limestone, which is characteristic for the Ockerkalk Formation in the Thuringian facies. The dominantly ocher-colored shale-limestone alternation in the Değirmentaş-Halevikdere section is ca. 50 m in thickness. The lower Ludlowian part is enriched by nautiloids, while in the Pridolian part crinoids are abundant. It is covered by 60-m-thick black shales and siltstones, corresponding to the Upper Graptolite Shale Formation in the Thuringian. The Silurian-Devonian boundary is located in the lower part of this unit on the basis of lobolith findings. The depositional model proposed here accounts for the migration of the considered peri-Gondwana terrains from high to low paleogeographic latitudes that has triggered changes not only in the ocean water thermohaline circulation but also in the wind-driven downwelling or upwelling systems. These changes are responsible for the progressive transition from an oxic regime to an anoxic one in the deep oceanic depositional environments (outer continental shelf, slope, and ocean basin settings) and the deposition of light and dark sediments there.

The studied Gülüç section of the Silurian Fındıklı Formation is situated on the western bank of Gülüç Creek in Ereğli, NW Anatolia, Turkey, in the eastern part of the Zonguldak Terrane. The Gülüç section consists of 3 sedimentary packages: greenish grey limy siltstones, 5-7 m thick (1), overlain by an irregular alternation of black shales and clayey limestones, about 15 m thick (2), and a 6-7 m thick succession of mainly siltstones and sandy limestones (3). A combined biostratigraphy based upon graptolites, cryptospores and conodonts indicates that Package 1 is of Llandovery (Rhuddanian, Aeronian and/or early Telychian) age, Package 2 and Package 3 are of late Wenlock--early Ludlow (Homerian and Ludfordian) age. Graptolites in packages 2 and 3 indicate the presence of the Cyrtograptus lundgreni, Neodiversograptus nilssoni and Lobograptus scanicus graptolite biozones. The Ozarkodina crassa Biozone occurs in the lower Gorstian (Ludlow). The specific features of the Gülüç section (lithological changes, condensation, stratigraphic gap, change in graptolite diversity) are related to the global model of Silurian T--R cycles. The Silurian Fındıklı Formation in the Gülüç section, about 20 m thick, represents a condensed lithological succession which differs significantly from the coeval thick, stratigraphically widespread black shales and siltstones of the same formation in the Zonguldak and İstanbul terranes. Sixteen cryptospore species are described and their stratigraphic and geographic distributions are summarised. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The late Llandovery included a period of global sea-level rise with a maximum in the spiralis graptolite Biozone, recorded by black graptolitic shales or red beds. Recent work in the less- known Silurian successions in the Zonguldak Terrane, NW Anatolia, has revealed the presence of Llandovery graptolitic black shales in the lower part of the Findikli Formation in the Camdag, Catak and Karadere areas. In the Camdag area, the “black shale member” yielded numerous well preserved graptolite rhabdosomes, including Oktavites spiralis, Barrandeograptus pulchellus and Retiolites geinitzianus. It is suggested that the graptolitic shales in this area were deposited during the spiralis–lower lapworthi zones. In the Catak and Ovacik areas, black shales intercalated with yellow shales yielded O. spiralis and R. geinitzianus. The deposition of black shales is related to the time of maximum Silurian sea level. The graptolitic shales in the Zonguldak Terrane are time-equivalents of the (late Llandovery) violet shales with green layers from a less deep basin in E Istanbul Terrane. In the W Istanbul Terrane, reddish sandstones with Fe-oolitic minerals and brachiopod-bearing carbonates were deposited during the late Llandovery maximum transgression. The early Silurian deposits in the Zonguldak Terrane are more akin to those of E Avalonian successions, whereas those of the Istanbul terrane resemble those of the Gondwanan periphery. Moreover, the studied sections enable the recognition of the regressive trend (or part of it) in this high level stand, as indicated by the deposition of pale and grey-greenish mudstone layers, carbonates and shell beds.
