Abstract
A rich shallow water conodont fauna with Idiognathodus incurvus DUNN, I. cf. suberectus (DUNN), Idioprioniodus sp., and Neognathodus columbiensis STIBANE was found in the lower part of the Kongul Formation of the Bolkardag Unit, about 12 km NW of Hadim town, central Taurus, Turkey. The conodonts indicate a middle to late Atokan age (on the American scale) for this part of the formation. On the Russian scale, the fauna corresponds to the middle Moscovian. According to previous correlations between the Russian and North American scales, a (middle) late Atokan (middle Moscovian age) is assumed for this fauna.
Variscan deep-water sequences are not present in the study area.
