Geography
Country:Turkey
Coordinates: 36.8° North, 33.5° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:36.6° North, 33.6° East
Basis of coordinate:estimated from map
Geographic resolution:local area
Time
Period:Neogene Epoch:Miocene
Stage:Langhian 10 m.y. bin:Cenozoic 5
Key time interval:Langhian
Age range of interval:15.98000 - 13.82000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Mut
Stratigraphy comments: Lower Langhian
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:massive packstone
Environment:slope/ramp reef
Geology comments: The prevailing texture is a packstone, although intense bioturbation may have caused patchy variations in texture and grain size. Coralline red algae are abundant, mainly represented by Melobesioideae and Mastophoroideae, and consist of fragments of protuberances or small rhodoliths, togetherwith fragments of thin, foliose thalli.
