GASTROPODA FAUNA OF ANTALYA MIOCENE BASIN

With this study,totally 51 gastropod species taken from Oymapınar limestone, Altınkayaformation and Aksu formation, into the Antalya Miocene basin, have beendetermined. After the description, in addition to the species have beenclassificated as systematically, their stratigraphic levels have been revealed.In the examin ed fauna, besides the species peculiar to Tethys such as (Cingula (Peringiella) ventricosella (Cerulli- Irelli, 1914),Terebralia subcorrugata d'Orbigny 1852, Cerithium (Thericium) vulgatum miocenicum Vignal, 1910, Cerithium (Tiaracerithium) pseudotiarella d'Orbigny 1852, Triphora adversa miocenica Cossmann ve Peyrot1924), some species peculiar to only Central Paratethys such as (Hydrobia) frauenfeldi frauenfeldi (Hoernes 1856), Pirenella gamlitzensis gamlitzensis (Hilber, 1879) havebeen found. The investigated species, during Lower – Middle Miocene, are ableto correlated both Tethys and Central Paratethys, while during Upper Miocenethese species are only able to corraleted Tethys.
