Özer et al., 2017), and these palynological studies were recorded from West and Central Anatolia. Contrary to this, the Paleogene micro-and macrofloras from East Anatolia and surrounding countries are still poorly documented, mainly due to their occasional occurrences and insufficient interest of the paleobotany community in their records (Sancay et al., 2006). In this study, palynofloral data from the Kağızman-Kötek and Kömürlü areas are given, together with a summary of paleovegetational and paleoclimatic differences between West, Central, and East Anatolia.Studies on the Paleogene macrofloras from several regions in Central and East Europe demonstrated that their bearing for understanding macrofloral diversity and for paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstruction is of considerable scientific interest (e.g., Kvaček and

Introduction The Eocene-Oligocene transition, with its significant record of climate change, has received much attention (e.g.,
