PRESENCE OF UPPER TRIASSIC BY CONODONTS IN ARMUTLU PENINSULA (WESTERN PONTIDES)

At the vicinity of Elmalı village to the NE of İznik (Armutlu Peninsula, Western Pontides) recent data have shown the presence of Upper Triassic conodonts in the limestones on the upper part of metaclastics, which were previously considered to be of Paleozoic age. New techniques were utilised in the obtaining and determination of the conodonts in this study, as the conventional methods have failed.
