The Lycian nappes lying on top of the para–autochthonous metamorphosed Menderes and unmetamorphosed Bey Daglari successions in SW Anatolia belong to the Tauride segment of the Anatolide–Tauride Block. The Tavas nappe is one of several nappe slices of the Lycian nappe sand forms structurally the lowermost tectono–stratigraphic unit. The upper part of the Tavas nappe succession is represented by planktonic foraminifera–bearing uppermost Cretaceous cherty micritic limestones and calciturbidites of the Babadag Formation and Lower Palaeogene micritic limestones and calciclastic rocks of the Faralya Formation in the study area. Lithostratigraphic characteristics and planktonic foraminiferal assemblages of the two formations in the Bozburun hill locality (S of Koycegiz) are documented for the first time in three stratigraphic sections in this study. The uppermost part of the Babadag Formation mainly comprises of alternating calciclastic and micritic limestones, which include diverse planktonic foraminiferal assemblages of mainly keeled morphotypes. The presence of Racemiguembelina fructicosa and Abathomphalus mayaroensis within the assemblages indicates a late Maastrichtian age for the uppermost part of the succession. Two sections of the overlying Faralya Formation comprise mainly planktonic foraminifera–bearing laminated micritic limestones, brecciated limestones and mudstones. Planktonic foraminiferal assemblages of the laminated micritic limestones are dominated by keeled Late Palaeocene morphotypes. The occurrence of Morozovella acuta and Globanomalina planoconica at the base of two sections suggests a Thanetian age for the deposits. The boundary between the Babadag and Faralya formations is characterized by a stratigraphic gap ranging from the latest Maastrichtian to the earliest Selandian. The gap was linked with the first of the three main events, when ophiolite obduction and incorporation of the Koycegiz Thrust Sheet into the Lycian allochthon occured. Cretaceous limestone clasts and foraminifers within the Thanetian calciclastic rocks of the Faralya Formation could be clues to that exposure anderosion.
