Late Visean-Early Namurian bivalves from the Zonguldak coal basin, Northwestern Turkey

Zonguldak kömür havzasında, Kuzeybatı Türkiye, Vizeyen–Namuriyen yaş sınırında, Septimyalina sublamellosa (Etheridge 1878), Septimyalina lamellosa (de Koninck 1842), Septimyalina minor (Brown 1841) ve Posidonia becheri Bronn, 1828 denizel bivalv örnekleri tanımlanarak, yaşam şekilleri ve paleobiyocoğrafik yayılımları incelenmiştir. Çalışma bölgesinde Erken Karbonifer’de omurgasız fosil azdır ve ancak sığ denizel Myalinidae ve Posidoniidae familyalarına ait fosiller bulunmaktadır. Bu fosillerin varlığı Karbonifer’de, Britanya’dan Karadeniz kıyılarına uzanan bir deniz yolunu işaretlemektedir.

Zonguldak kömür havzasının Geç Vizeyen-Erken Namuriyen bivalvleri, Kuzeybatı Türkiye

Marine bivalves Septimyalina sublamellosa (Etheridge 1878), Septimyalina lamellosa (de Koninck 1842), Septimyalina minor (Brown 1841) and Posidonia becheri Bronn, 1828 are described from the Visean–Namurian transition of Zonguldak coal basin, Northwestern Turkey. Macroinvertebrate fossils are rare in the Lower Carboniferous of the Zonguldak coal basin and only a few shallow marine forms of Myalinidae and Posidoniidae families are present. Their palaeobiogeographic distribution delineates a seaway from Britain to the Black Sea coast during the Carboniferous.
