What is it about?
A Late Permian palynological assemblages within the black shales, siltstones and limestones from the Çakraz Formation have been recently described in the Zonguldak Terrane, NW Turkey. The depositional environment of these succession is possibly in a broad range of fluvial and lacustrine environments which known from the East European Variscan Belt in Bulgaria and Romania. Common successions were also developed in actively extending shallow-marine platforms on the NW Palaeotethyan margin at the end of the Permian Period.

Why is it important?
Recently, discovered dark-colored fluvio-lacustrine deposits of Tatarian age in the Eregli area which were erroneously taken for Silurian black shales in previous studies. That’s why new finding is very important for the description of first time anoxic sediments of late Permian age in NW Anatolia.
Perspectives
I am happy to publish this article because I had an opportunity to share some of our new findings for other colleagues.
