This study reports the new discovery of relatively abundant foraminiferal faunas from the upper Serpukhovian-lowermost Bashkirian? of the Ghaleh Formation in the Shahreza region of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, Iran. Four successive assemblages spanning the upper Serpukhovian-lowermost Bashkirian? are proposed: (1) Assemblage with Biseriella minima and Eostaffellina paraprotvae; (2) Assemblage with Bradyina cribrostomata; (3) Assemblage with Parastaffella utkaensa and Plectostaffella spp., (4) Assemblage with Plectostaffella ex gr. varvariensis. The newly discovered foraminiferal assemblages of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone have some species in common with assemblages of the Russian Platform, Donets Basin, Urals, and Western Europe. Ikensieformis aff. mirifica, and Eostaffella igoi, and a new species Ikensieformis persiaensis sp. nov. are described. The microfacies analysis of the Ghaleh Formation limestones suggests a moderate to high-energy shallow marine warm environment, more likely of the inner ramp.

“…The fluctuations causing shallowing-upward cycles are clearly documented by microfacies data and biota (Flügel, 2004). Such cycles are the fundamental units of a sequence and formed by repetitions of facies (e.g., Tucker and Garland, 2010;Demirel and Altıner, 2016). The vertical arrangements of the microfacies types derived from sedimentological and paleontological features of the deposits across the G/F boundary in the eastern Taurides display well-developed meter-scale cycles, which are supposed to be highfrequency cycles (Goldhammer et al, 1990;Mitchum and Van Wagoner, 1991).…”

Devonian strata, including siliciclastic and carbonate rocks that were deposited in shallow marine to coastal environments, are widely distributed in the eastern Taurides of southern Turkey. To document the regional formation of the Givetian (Middle Devonian)/ Frasnian (Upper Devonian) boundary, a section in the eastern Taurides was studied in high resolution with regard to biostratigraphy, microfacies, sequence stratigraphy, and the global Frasne Event. The integrated biostratigraphic investigation was based on calcareous benthic foraminifers, ostracods, conodonts, and palynomorphs, which provide a biostratigraphic frame that allows to recognize the Givetian/Frasnian boundary. On the basis of the lithological variation in the outcrop as well as on depositional textures and biotic components as observed in thin sections, fourteen microfacies types of both siliciclastic and carbonate rocks can be distinguished. These microfacies are interpreted to have been deposited in settings that range from distal shelf to lagoonal depositional environments. The sequence stratigraphic interpretation allows to recognize two successive depositional sequences. The first one is a complete sequence including lowstand systems tract deposits, overlain by transgressive systems tract and highstand systems tract deposits. The second sequence is only represented by transgressive systems tract sediments. The Givetian/Frasnian boundary corresponds to the highstand systems tract of Sequence 1. The late Givetian Frasne Event can be detected lithologically and can be compared with other areas. Its position is confirmed biostratigraphically.

The Hadim Nappe, which is one of the allochthonous tectonic units in the Tauride Belt, in southern Turkey, includes a continuous stratigraphic succession from the Middle(?)–Late Devonian to Late Cretaceous. A relatively complete succession of the upper Serpukhovian to Bashkirian is exposed in the Central Taurides, where two sections (Yassıpınar and Gölbelen) have been selected for detailed biostratigraphic investigations. The Mississippian-Pennsylvanian boundary in these sections was determined by the first appearance datum of the Plectostaffella jakhensis and located in the oolitic limestone facies indicating a shallow-water depositional environment. The uppermost Serpukhovian and regional Bashkirian substages (Syuranian, Akavasian, Askynbashian, and Arkhangelskian) were determined by index taxa, namely Plectostaffella jakhensis, P. bogdanovkensis, P. varvariensis, Pseudostaffella antiqua, Staffellaeformes staffellaeformis, Tikhonovichiella tikhonovichi, and Verella spicata. Fifty fusulinid species belonging to fourteen genera were determined in two sections, in which two species are new: Depratina turani Akbaş new species and Tikhonovichiella praetikhonovichi Akbaş new species. The taxonomic positions of two fusulinid species (Depratina convoluta n. comb. and Staffellaeformes parva robusta n. comb.) are revised. The studied fusulinid assemblages correlate with fusulinid assemblages from the southern Urals, Russian Platform, Donetz Basin, Darvaz, Spain, central Iran, and some other regions of the Tethyan Realm.
