The Yukarıbanazı Formation, locating East Taurus consists of conglomerate interbedded sandstone-shale alternation. The unit starts with gray colored conglomerates around Konak and Gündüzbey, passes upwards into gray-green colored sandstone-shale alternation and includes olistolites derived from Malatya Metamorphics. In the sandstones of the Yukarıbanazı Formation, flute-cast structures, scour-filling traces, parallel lamination and normal grading were observed as sedimentary structure. Wash samples were taken from the shales and abundant planktic foraminifers were found at some levels. These are Globigerina senni, Pseudohastigerina micra, Acarinina bulbrooki, Truncorotaloides topilensis, Globigerinatheka index index, Globorotalia sp., Rotaliidae. Additionally, in the sandstones were identified such as Gyroidinella magna, Nummulites cf. millecaput, Assilina cf. aspera, Assilina cf. exponens, Textularia sp., Orbitolites sp., Alveolina sp., Asterigerina sp., Lockhartia sp., Rotalia sp., Planorbulina sp., Linderina sp., Gypsina sp., Sphaerogypsina sp., Fabiania sp., Discocyclina sp., Asterocyclina sp. The Yukarıbanazı Formation was deposited in a deep marine environment.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessYukarıbanazıSandstoneShaleForaminiferaLutetianConference Object
