Bioerosion structures on the Crassostrea gryphoides (Schlotheim, 1813) shells from the Salyan formation (Upper Burdigalian-Lower Langhian), K. Maraş, Southeastern Turkey

K. Maraş’da Salyan Formasyonu (Üst Burdigaliyen-Alt Langiyen) kalın oyster depoları içermektedir. Kahramanmaraş Miyosen Havza’sının kuzeybatısında, oyucu/delici mikro-organizmalar tarafından oluşturulan biyoerozyon yapıları Crassostrea gryphoides (Schlotheim, 1813) oyster türü üzerinde bulunmuştur. Bu oyuk/delikler üç iz fosil cinsini; Renichnus isp., Caulostrepsis isp., ve Entobia isp., işaret etmektedir. Bu yapılar Klionid süngerler, Polychaete kurtlar ve vermetid gastropodların aktiviteleri olarak gözlemlenmşitir.

Salyan formasyonu’undaki (Üst Burdigaliyen-Alt Langiyen) Crassostrea gryphoides (Schlotheim, 1813) kavkıları üzerinde biyoerozyon yapıları, K. Maraş, Güneydoğu Türkiye

The Salyan Formation (Upper Burdigalian-Lower Langhian) of K. Maraş, Turkey contains thick-bedded deposits of oysters. Bioerosion structures found on the Early-Middle Miocene oyster specimens Crassostrea gyrphoides (Schlotheim, 1813) from the Northwestern K. Maraş Basin area are much affected by the boring of micro-organisms. The borings, represented by three ichnogenera, are assigned to Renichnus isp., Caulostrepsis isp., and Entobia isp. The activity of Clionid sponges, Polychaete worms and vermetid gastropods have also been observed.
