An Albian–Turonian shallow-marine carbonate succession of the Bey Dağları (Western Taurides, Turkey): biostratigraphy and a new benthic foraminifera Fleuryana gediki sp. nov.

The Alakır outcrop section presents seemingly continuous shallow-marine carbonate sedimentation during the Albian–Turonian times which is known from very few parts of the peri-Mediterranean platforms. Approximately 550 m thick platform carbonate succession is unconformably overlain by carbonate...
