Abstract
Lower Ordovician rocks in the Bahçe–Fevzipaşa district of the northern Amanos Mountains, previously divided into three separate formations, are referred to the Seydisehir Formation. Shaly strata that crop out southeast of Bahçe and have been termed Kizlaç Formation, Ayran Series or Bahçe Formation, described variously as being of Ordovician or Silurian age, are referred to the lower shale member of the Bedinan Formation; their sparse fauna includes the trilobitesColpocoryphe, KloucekiaandNobiliasasphusand is of Caradoc age. A single locality containingKloucekia phillipsii(Barrande, 1846) is shown to be that recorded by Frech in 1916 and subsequently lost sight of.
