Geological magazine : Vol. 136 Iss. 1-6 Year 1999Summary: Lower Palaeozoic outcrops near Kemer comprise only Ordovician and Silurian strata in the Upper Antalya Nappes, and are described in detail for the first time. The oldest rocks, Seydişehir Formation (lower Arenig), resemble those of the central Taurides. A disconformity is probable, though unexposed, below the succeeding Şort Tepe Formation (Ashgill), a unit seen elsewhere only in south central and southeastern Turkey; sparse trilobites include Cyclopyge, Cyphoniscus, Panderia, Symphysops, Ulugtella, and one new species Placoparia (Hawleia) marcouxi. Silurian rocks (Sapandere Formation) differ from those further east in the Taurides, and are of Llandovery (Telychian), Wenlock and ?Ludlow age, based on conodonts, graptolites and trilobites (Cerauroides, Otarion (Aulacopleura), Sphaerexochus) the affinities of which lie with the Carnic Alps and western Europe. The Sapandere Formation is unconformably overlain by red sandstones at the base of the Armutlugözlek Formation (Devonian).
