Mono- and dicyrtid Nassellaria (Radiolaria) from the Upper Carnian of the Sorgun Ophiolitic Mélange, Southern Turkey and Kopría Mélange, Rhodes, Greece

Tectonic units of the Alpine collision zone between Eastern Alps and western Turkey

“…East of Crete, the Ionian unit is exposed a last time on Rhodos island, together with slices of the Gavrovo-Tripolitza and Pindos units and Cretaceous ophiolites and m elange (Lekkas et al, 2002;Ozsv art et al, 2017). Offshore the area occupied by the Bey Da gları unit SE of Antalya (Fig.…”

Carnian (Late Triassic) ostracods from the Sorgun Ophiolitic Mélange (Southern Turkey): Taxonomy, palaeoenvironment, and evidence of predation

“…The sample G11 was processed for radiolarian analysis (Moix et al, 2007;Kozur et al, 2007aKozur et al, , 2007bKozur et al, , 2007cKozur et al, , 2009Ozsvárt et al, 2015;2017a, 2017b and provided a moderately abundant assemblage of silicified ostracods belonging to 29 species, 16 genera and seven families (Table 1). Bairdiidae strongly dominate the assemblage with 23 species and 10 genera (Acratia, Bairdia, Bairdiacypris, Dicerobairdia, Isobythocypris, Medwenitschia, Mirabairdia, Nodobairdia, Petasobairdia, Ptychobairdia Masset and Moix (2004) as part of the assemblage in G11, without illustration, and is not found here.…”

“…Two major independent mélange units are recognized in the MOC: the Upper Cretaceous Sorgun Ophiolitic Mélange and the Middle to Upper Triassic Hacialani Mélange (Moix et al, 2011). One of the most important and well-developed tectonic blocks of the Sorgun Ophiolitic Mélange is the Tavusçayiri Block (Masset and Moix, 2004), which yielded the best-preserved and most diverse lower Tuvalian radiolarian fauna (Spongotortilispinus moixi radiolarian Zone) worldwide discovered in 2004 by Masset and Moix and partly described in a series of articles by Moix et al (2007), Kozur et al (2007aKozur et al ( , 2007bKozur et al ( , 2007cKozur et al ( , 2009 and Ozsvárt et al (2015Ozsvárt et al ( , 2017aOzsvárt et al ( , 2017b. In this paper, we illustrate and discuss the silicified ostracods from the same radiolarian-rich layer (sample G11), which include 29 species and 16 genera.…”

Integrated Radiolaria, benthic foraminifera and conodont biochronology of the pelagic Permian blocks/tectonic slices and geochemistry of associated volcanic rocks from the Mersin Mélange, southern Turkey: Implications for the Permian evolution of the northern Neotethys

“…Previously, some researchers (e.g. Forel et al, in press; H. W. Kozur, Moix, & Ozsvart, , , , ; Moix et al, , ; Ozsvart, Dumitrica, Hungerbühler, & Moix, ; Ozsvart, Dumitrica, & Moix, ; Ozsvart, Moix, & Kozur, ; Tekin, Bedi, Okuyucu, Göncüoglu, & Sayit, ; Tekin, Bedi, Okuyucu, Göncüoglu, Sayit et al, ) have carried out detailed paleontological studies on blocks/tectonic slices in the Mersin Mélange to clarify the radiolarian, foraminiferal and ostracod assemblages. Among these studies, Moix et al () investigated the limestone and chert blocks within the Mersin Mélange and report a chert‐detrital limestone association (‘Karinkali Block’) near the Karincali‐Southwest section in this study (Figure ).…”
