Özet

The new mammal locality of Akkasdagi yielded a rich fauna dated as Middle Turolian. It is situated in the southern part of the Cankiri-Corum Basin in central Anatolia. In the Akkasdagi area, the sedimentary deposits, mapped as the Kizilirmak Formation, consist of tuffs and lacustrine limestones intercalated with elastic deposits, whilst in its type section, situated to the north near Kizilirmak town, this formation is mainly formed of fluviatile deposits. Facies distribution and geological observations led to conclude that during the Miocene, depositional centers migrated from the north to the south of this basin.
