Özet

Cretaceous/Paleogene outcrops of Turkey provide important areas for the study of trace fossils on larger benthic foraminiferal tests such as Orbitoides and Loftusia from the Maastrichtian, and Nummulites, Assilina and Discocyclina from the Eocene. The current investigation synthesizes previous and new records of borings on Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene foraminifers with information on faunal associations, stratigraphical correlation and paleoenvironmental conditions. The types of borings were distributed according to their shallow-water paleoenvironments.
