Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy comments: "The correlation of the Candir assemblages to an appropriate MN zonation is complicated. Candir was initially biostratigraphically correlated to MN 6 (de Bruijn et al. 1992) and was subsequently reassigned to the MN5 (de Bruijn et al. 2003). As such, the age of Candir is still under debate and is thus dated either as MN5 or MN6 (Casanovas-Vilar et al. 2011; Mayda et al. 2015). Using both biochronological correlations MN 5 and MN 6, the magnetostratigraphic studies (Krijgsman 2003) correlated Candir to the base of the chron C5ACn, 14 Ma and C5ABn, 13.6 Ma respectively. In any case, the overall faunal resemblance between Pasalar and Candir allows a confident correlation of Candir with the local zone F (de Bruijn et al. 2013)." - Cernansky et al (2017) |
