Abstract. Fusulinid faunas of the Pennsylvanian (Bashkirian–Moscovian) deposits of the Siyah Aladag Nappe were investigated from the Kuzuoluk section located in the eastern Taurides. The section is represented by grey, occasionally laminated, algal and fusulinid-rich limestones. The foraminiferal faunas of the Kuzuoluk section are very diverse and abundant which allows identification of the Bashkirian–Moscovian boundary by index-species such as Verella spicata and Aljutovella aljutovica. Other key taxa in the Bashkirian–Moscovian interval include Pseudostaffella grandis and Staffellaeformes staffellaeformis (Bashkirian Stage, upper part of the Lower Substage), Ozawainella pararhomboidalis and Staffellaeformes bona (Bashkirian Stage, Upper Substage), Verella spicata (Bashkirian Stage, Upper Substage) and Aljutovella aljutovica Zones (Moscovian Stage, Lower Substage). The Bashkirian–Moscovian microfaunas from the Kuzuoluk section can be correlated with assemblages from Tien-Shan, the Southern Urals and the Russian Platform.

Stratigraphic Succession

Abstract The Hadim Nappe, which is one of the allochthonous tectonic units in the Tauride Belt, in southern Turkey, includes a continuous stratigraphic succession from the Middle(?)–Late Devonian to Late Cretaceous. A relatively complete succession of the upper Serpukhovian to Bashkirian is exposed in the Central Taurides, where two sections (Yassıpınar and Gölbelen) have been selected for detailed biostratigraphic investigations. The Mississippian-Pennsylvanian boundary in these sections was determined by the first appearance datum of the Plectostaffella jakhensis and located in the oolitic limestone facies indicating a shallow-water depositional environment. The uppermost Serpukhovian and regional Bashkirian substages (Syuranian, Akavasian, Askynbashian, and Arkhangelskian) were determined by index taxa, namely Plectostaffella jakhensis, P. bogdanovkensis, P. varvariensis, Pseudostaffella antiqua, Staffellaeformes staffellaeformis, Tikhonovichiella tikhonovichi, and Verella spicata. Fifty fusulinid species belonging to fourteen genera were determined in two sections, in which two species are new: Depratina turani Akbaş new species and Tikhonovichiella praetikhonovichi Akbaş new species. The taxonomic positions of two fusulinid species (Depratina convoluta n. comb. and Staffellaeformes parva robusta n. comb.) are revised. The studied fusulinid assemblages correlate with fusulinid assemblages from the southern Urals, Russian Platform, Donetz Basin, Darvaz, Spain, central Iran, and some other regions of the Tethyan Realm.

Region Analysis

The article is concerned with the publication of two new finds of early Sarmatian shape iron daggers, found in the southern foothill zone of the Chui valley (Kyrgyzstan). This category of weapons is considered as a rare find on the territory of the spread of the Saka culture of Tien Shan region. Therefore, each new find of such items significantly expands the understanding of the features of the formations and development of the blade weapons in this territory. The first dagger by its morphological features was dated to the late half of the 5th – first half of the 4th centuries BC. Similar analogies were discovered on the territory of the Forest-Steppe Altai, the Volga region and the South Urals, which allowed to clarify its chronological framework. The second dagger was dated by the author back to the first half of the 3rd century BC. At the same time the closest morphological parallels are found mainly in the Sarmatian materials of the South Urals region. Analysis of the data of the two daggers showed that Tien Shan region was already quite early in the southern periphery of the original territory of formation of the early Sarmatian-type blade weapons. It is noteworthy that cultural interrelationships not only with the territories of the Southern Urals and Volga region, but also with the Forest-Steppe Altai, played a significant role in appearance and spread of the daggers there.

Two Bodies

Within the Western slope of the Southern Urals, there are plenty of basite dyke complexes of Riphean to Vendian among Precambrian terrigenous-carbonate formations. In metamorphic formations of the Taratash complex (Archean to Early Proterozoic, the northern closure of the Bashkirian meganticlinorium) there was observed the andesitic dyke with isotopic age of 71±1 Ma (U-Pb SHRIMP II on zircons) and near Bakal two bodies of gabbroids with zircons of similar ages were found. These are the first evidence of possible Mezozoic magmatism in this region.

Successional Stages

The secondary birch and aspen forests of middle stages of succession of the central elevated part of the Southern Urals are studied. 4 subassociations, 1 community, and 7 variants in the alliances of Aconito-Piceion and Piceion excelsae are allocated. It is shown that the floristic composition of aspen and birch secondary forests in the age of 60—80 years is almost identical to the natural forests. However, a slight increase the coenotical role of light-requiring species of grasslands and hemiboreal forests in the secondary communities of the class Brachypodio-Betuletea was noticed as well as some reduction of role the shade-tolerant species of nemoral complex and species of boreal forests of the class Vaccinio-Piceetea. Dominant tree layer under the canopy of secondary series is marked by an active growth of natural tree species.

Xerophillous pine-larch forests of the Southern Ural have been described as a new alliance Caragano fruti­cis—Pinion sylvestris. They occur on steep slopes of upper parts of mountain ridges with poorely developed stony soils. Alliance asigned to the class Brachypodio pinnati—Betuletea pendulae, order Chamaecytiso ruthe­nici—Pinetalia sylvestris. Associations Carici caryophyl­leae—Pinetum sylvestris and Ceraso fruticis—Pinetum sylvestris with four subassociations are described. Eco­logical and floristical peculiarities of new alliance in comparison with another alliances of the order Cha­maecytiso-Pinetalia and with siberian class Rhytidio rugosi—Laricetea sibiricae have been discussed.
