One hundred and forty-four sections of shallow-water carbonates, deposited between the Paleocene and the Miocene, from the Levant to the Himalaya, have been investigated to analyze the distribution of carbonate facies and carbonate producing organisms. Large benthic foraminifera resulted the volumetrically most important group of carbonate producers during the whole period, with a peak in abundance during the Eocene. Colonial corals are relatively abundant during the Paleocene and in the Miocene, their abundance peak during the Oligocene and has a minimum during the Eocene. Red calcareous algae have a similar pattern although their peak in abundance covers both the Oligocene and the Miocene. Green calcareous algae decrease from the Paleocene onward. Facies related to very shallow and/or restricted marine conditions peak during the Miocene and in particular during the Aquitanian. Both the pattern of large benthic foraminifera and of colonial corals seems to be related to temperatures, with warm periods favoring the former and cool periods the latter. Red calcareous algae display a pattern similar to that of colonial corals suggesting that the periods favorable for one group, on the large scale, are also favorable for the other. The progressive decrease of green calcareous algae could be tentatively related to a preservation bias connected to the transition from Paleogene assemblages that included presumably calcitic taxa of green algae and Neogene assemblages entirely constituted by aragonitic taxa with limited preservation potential. The Aquitanian peak in facies related to very shallow and/or restricted marine conditions is most likely connected to the progressive narrowing of the Tethys related to the collision between Arabia and Eurasia. These results denote an overall agreement between the abundance of the various types of shallow-water carbonate facies and large-scale environmental and geological processes, highlighting the potential for paleoenvironmental reconstruction locked in the shallow-water record.

“…In the Eocene, they dominate very rarely, while in the Oligocene and in the Miocene they occur only as a minor component of the skeletal assemblage. These results are supported by the lithostragratiphic information provided by Höntzsch et al (2011) for Egypt, by Nafarieh et al (2019) and Benedetti et al (2021) for Iran, by Akhtar and Butt (1999), Afzal et al (2011b), Khan et al (2018) and Khitab et al (2020) for Pakistan, by Gaetani et al (1983) for India, and by Zhang et al (2013) for China. Unlike the results given here, the review of Pomar et al (2017) of Cenozoic carbonates of western-central Tethys indicates abundant GCA only in the Danian (mainly dasyclads) and in the Miocene (mainly Halimedales).…”

An important shallow marine deposit is described and illustrated with focus on the systematics and biostratigraphy of larger foraminifera from three stratigraphic sections of the Becirman Formation from the Batman and Siirt regions (Southeastern Turkey). A quite diverse association, mostly dominated by rotaliids (11 species belonging to 7 genera) and subordinate porcelaneous and agglutinated taxa, is documented as well. The fossil assemblage, including Elazigina dienii, Rotospirella conica, Praelockhartia cf. neoakbari, Cuvillierina cf. sireli associated with Mardinella daviesi and Idalina sinjarica, indicates the late Danian SBZ2. The abundance of rotaliids is linked, in this time frame, to the recovery of the shallow benthic communities after the K/Pg extinction including increase of surface water temperatures and oligotrophy. This was possibly due to the climatic warming recorded at the end of the Danian (Latest Danian Event), thus promoting a rapid adaptative radiation of rotaliids at genus rank.
