Pleistocene–Holocene calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy of core samples from The Northeastern Sea of Marmara, Fenerbahçe–Pendik, NW Turkey

Pseudoemiliana lacunosa, Gephyrocapsa oceanica and Emiliania huxleyi (Ionian) (Pleistocene–Holocene) calcareous nannoplankton zones were identified from 82 samples of 14 cores taken from 8 locations in the northeastern Sea of Marmara. The investigation indicates that the identified biozones have bee...

Description
Summary:Pseudoemiliana lacunosa, Gephyrocapsa oceanica and Emiliania huxleyi (Ionian) (Pleistocene–Holocene) calcareous nannoplankton zones were identified from 82 samples of 14 cores taken from 8 locations in the northeastern Sea of Marmara. The investigation indicates that the identified biozones have been alternated by tectonic activity in the 1, 5 and 6 core locations. The study area has been affected three times by tectonic activity during the Pleistocene–Holocene time interval. The first activity occured during the Early Pleistocene and the others during Holocene.
