FIGURE 1. Composite section and simplified geological map of the Mersin Ophiolitic Complex (MOC). The pink star indicates the position of the studied sample. Compiled after Parlak (1996) and Özer et al. (2004), modified from figure 1 of Moix et al. (2007).

FIGURE 2. Stratigraphic log of the Tavusçayiri Block with the position of the studied sample G11 which yielded the present ostracod assemblage.

FIGURE 3. Subdivisions of the Carnian stage and correlation of ammonoid, conodont and radiolarian Zones for this time interval. The stars indicate the position of the ostracod-bearing sample studied here (Spongotortilispinus moixi radiolarian. Zone) and ostracod fauna from the Kilek section (Tetraporobrachia haeckeli radiolarian Zone; Forel et al., 2017). Ammonoid zonation after Gallet et al. (1994) and Hornung et al. (2007); conodont zonation after Kozur and Mostler (1994, 1996) and Kozur (2003); radiolarian zonation after Kozur (2003), Moix et al. (2007) and Dumitrica et al. (2013).

FIGURE 5. Length/height scatter plot of Bairdiacypris sorgunensis Forel sp. nov. All specimens are from the Tetraporobrachia haeckeli radiolarian Zone, Julian, Middle Carnian, Late Triassic (Forel et al., 2017).
