During a field expedition in Taurus (SE Turkey) in order to study the Lower Palaeozoic series, a small brachiopod fauna was collected in the Kozan area in beds of supposed Silurian age. After closer examination, the age of this fauna is clearly Upper Devonian, probably Lower Frasnian, and this implies a reassessment of the age of the series. This assemblage also shows close affinities with similar North Gondwanan faunas described in Iran and Afghanistan in beds of the same age.
