Geography
Country: Turkey


Coordinate: 37° 34' N, 38° 5' E
Coordinate basis: estimated from map

Formation: Soma Formation

Time interval: Early Miocene

Zone: MN3

Unit number: 2

Unit order: below to above

Geography comments: shown in Fig. 1b as being about 3 km NNE of Besyol in Adiyaman Province (basis of coordinate), which is northeast of Izmir
"from the lower part of the Sabuncubeli Formation (= Soma Fm. in Kaya et al. 2007),"
"local zone D or MNH unit 3" and superposed over Sabuncubeli
a preliminary faunal list was published by Kaya et al. (2007)

Environment
Lithology: conglomerate

Habitat comments: the "fossiliferous beds" across the formation include "fine-grained, sub-mature conglomerate lenses and a marly upper part that contains mollusc debris" but the text and Fig. 1 indicate that the general lithology in this part of a the section is a "limy mudrock"
