Özet

In this study, generic distinction examples of nannofossil and foraminifera are presented from the different marine sedimentary succesions of the Cretaceous and Tertiary ages in the northern part of the Isparta Angle. New stratigraphical interpretations based on synsedimentary and intrabasinal or extrabasinal reworked fossil records are discussed and compared to the results of previous studies. Generically distinguished nannofossil and foraminifer assemblages show that intrabasinal or extrabasinal reworking has a significant role in the marine sedimentations that occurred in the Cretaceous-Early Miocene the time interval. Both studied fossil groups reworking data show that Cretaceous-Tertiary transition, Late Paleocene, Early-Middle Eocene and Early Miocene fine to coarse clastics and clastic carbonates comprise intrabasinal and extrabasinal faunal data, while Late Cretaceous carbonates predominantly contain intrabasinal fauna. It is concluded that the Cretaceous sediments reported in the literature extend to Danian, and sediments that were previously intreprated as deep marine sediments are related to open marine sediments.
