An example for the determination of the Permian - Triaeslc transition by the foraminifera population foncurrent Range zones (Aladağlar Region, Eastern Taurus Mountains)
ABSTRACT: Aladaf regton, iiroıınd Kii^iiksıı and IMidëken yayla, TJppeırmost Permian, Poııninıi-TriasHİc. transition, and Lowermost Triasslo are repreBented by marine Umestone sequences, la order to clarify the oharaoterlstio iof rermian-Triïissio trasiNitioıı, au Investigatton to define formnlnUera population concmwnt range zones has been carried out In thèse sequences. In the sequence where no stratigraphie hiatus could be found, the par!» corresponding to the zones exhtMt different facie».
