Non-marine Ostracoda in Sağlık plain, Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, since the Late Glacial to mid-Holocene

Abstract

We present the freshwater ostracod stratigraphy of former lake, in Saglik plain, South Central Anatolia, Turkey, since the Last Late Glacial until the mid-Holocene. Podocopoid (non-marine) ostracods were identified in Saglik II (SAĞ II) core whose the lowermost part goes back to 15500 years ago. Both smooth and noded forms of Cyprideis torosa ( Jones, 1850 ), Candona sp . ( Baird, 1845 ), Ilyocypris sp. ( Brady & Norman, 1889 ) , Darwinula stevensoni ( Brady & Robertson, 1870 ), Plesiocypridopsis newtoni ( Brady & Robertson, 1870 ), and Prionocypris zenkeri ( Chyzer&Toth, 1858 ) were the observed species
