Notes on the post-Tertiary and Tertiary Fossils obtained by Col. English from the District surrounding the Dardanelles

Abstract

~HE DISTaZOT SVRROUI~Dr~a TH~ 1)a~1aXS~,LV,ES. 277 andesites were merely unustml varieties of biotite-andesite. The groundmass is commonly pilotaxitie, less frequently hyalopilitie. The best example of these came from the White Cliffs (Dardanelles). An excellent biotite-andesite was collected on the southeastern slope of the watershed above Panagia (Imbros) ; it contained, in addition to large hexagonal plates of biotite, a little much-corroded hornblende and porphyritic green augite. Five specimens from the island of Strati were all hornblendeandesites (containing a little dark-brown biotite), and were exceptionally fresh and good examples of this class of rocks. Typical hypersthene-andesites, much decomposed, occur at Korou. Olivine-basalts were found on the Kuru Dagh and near Keshan : from the latter locality some peculiar rocks were obtained. One of these resembled an augitite; another consisted of olivine, brownish augite, biotite, plagioclase, and orthoclase-felspar, with an abundant clear glass)-base. In the Serian-Tepd district, examples of serpentine, amphibolite, epidote-amphibolite, and serpentine-schist occur. The serpentines include weathered dunites and harzburgites.

A new species of the genus Microbunodon (Anthracotheriidae, Artiodactyla) from the Miocene of Pakistan: genus revision, phylogenetic relationships and palaeobiogeography

“…It occurs in the late Oligocene of Ebnat‐Kappel, MP 28 (Brunet & Vianey‐Liaud 1987) (around 26 Ma), and is represented by the species M. minimum . Similar forms are present at Masatly in the Dardannel, Turkey, in the late Oligocene (Newton 1904), but the age estimate is still uncertain and the fossils are rare. Microbunodon minimum is also abundant in France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (Cabard 1976) from MP 28 to MP 30 (Fig.…”

The curious case of Karl Nagalhard and the central European influence on the early studies on the Cenozoic paleobotany in Turkey

“…Strickland did not spell out anything more than the names and whether these specimens were related to those which still existed in Anatolia remained uncertain. Later, one of the plant impressions in a sandstone slab found near the modern-day Lalacık, a village at the southern part of Edirne, was superficially referred to Myrica lignitum by Richard Bullen Newton (1854Newton ( -1926, but no further information was provided about the specimen (Newton, 1904).…”
