Abstract

The present work evaluates the significance of the early Tuvalian (late Carnian, Late Triassic) Tetraspinocyrtiidae and related families (radiolarians) from the Sorgun Ophiolitic Mélange, southern Turkey. Two new genera: Nogursa and Sorgunocyrtis and additional fifteen new species and a new subspecies are described from the Tavusçayırı Block, northeast of Sorgun village, Mersin, southern Turkey. The radiolarian fauna belongs to the Spongotortilispinus moixi Radiolarian Zone (equivalent to Paragondolella postinclinata – Paragondolella noah Conodont Zone).
