• Resumen

  • Early and Middle Ordovician successions in the Tauride Belt are mainly represented by the Seydisehir Formation, which comprises the Tremadoc and Arenig Series. The Seydisehir Formation is generally made up of dark green to grey anchimetamorphic slates and siltstones (siliciclastic tempestites) with a few conodont–bearing nodular limestone bands at its lowermost part (Babadere Member). The main body of the formation includes a large number of coarsening–upwards sequences, displaying well–developed flute casts, parallel lamination, cone–in–cone textures and includes Tremadoc trilobites and graptolites (Dean and Monod, 1970, 1990; Özgül et al., 1973) in its lower part, and Arenig trace fossils (Phycodes circinatum (Richter) in its upper part (Özgül and Kozlu, 2002).
