A survey of pyritised animal, plant, and trace fossils and concretionary pyrites, Germav Formation, southeastern Turkey

Abstract: The sulphide-bearing rocks of the Upper Cretaceous Germav Formation in southeastern Turkey (Bozova-Urfa) and the morphologically varied sulphide occurrences they contain have been investigated. Pyrite and marcasite are the main sulphide minerals; lesser bravoite and millerite also occur. Pyritised branches and leaves, trace fossils, and animal microfossils and macrofossils are abundant. Most of the concretionary and authigenic concretionary pyrite occurrences are probably related to burrows. The concretionary … Show more

“…The high biogenic pyrite content is typical in burrow adherent form both in vertical and in horizontal directions, as well as framboidal form. According to Bolucek and Ilhan (2006), the layered and lensoidal pyrites are syngenetic; the concretionary and authigenic pyrites are early diagenetic, and the fracture-fill pyrites are of epigenetic origin. The sediment consists of rooting structures and desiccation cracks.…”

“…They allow sedimentary redox conditions to be identified as oxic, suboxic, anoxic or euxinic. Moreover, some studies particularly were interested to pyrites morphology in sedimentary rocks [4] [5]. The most widely accepted view is that euhedral and framboidal pyrite is regularly formed in sedimentary environments under anoxic conditions.…”
