New record of a Middle Devonian brachiopod fauna from the Northern Arabian Plate, Zap Anticline, Cukurca-Hakkari, Southeastern Turkey
Abstract
Brachiopods recently collected from the Zap River Valley area (SE Turkey) allow to establish a Middle Devonian (upper Givetian) age for the upper middle part of the Yiginli Formation which was until now considered as Famennian on the basis of its micropaleontological contents and of its relative position in the series.
