Rudist fauna

Platform carbonates bearing shallow water foraminifera and dasycladale assemblages with an Albian stratigraphic significance, crop out at two localities on the Karaburun Peninsula: Barbaros and Zeytineli. Rudist faunas collected from these localities include Toucasia seunesi Douvillé, Pseudotoucasia catalaunica Astre, Mathesia darderi (Astre), Petalodontia ? sp., and Eoradiolites sp. aff. murgensis.

The uppermost Cretaceous Tarbur Formation of the Zagros region (SW Iran) is mainly siliciclastic in composition, though it also incorporates some carbonate units including several rudist lithosomes. Two sections through this formation, in the Semirom and Gerdbisheh areas, have been chosen for study of the lithosomes and their rudist fauna.
