After the description, in addition to the species have been classificated as systematically, their stratigraphic levels have been revealed. In the examin ed fauna, besides the species peculiar to Tethys such as (Cingula (Peringiella) ventricosella (Cerulli- Irelli, 1914), Terebralia subcorrugata d'Orbigny 1852, Cerithium (Thericium) vulgatum miocenicum Vignal, 1910, Cerithium (Tiaracerithium) pseudotiarella d'Orbigny 1852, Triphora adversa miocenica Cossmann ve Peyrot 1924), some species peculiar to only Central Paratethys such as (Hydrobia) frauenfeldi frauenfeldi (Hoernes 1856), Pirenella gamlitzensis gamlitzensis (Hilber, 1879) have been found. The investigated species, during Lower – Middle Miocene, are able to correlated both Tethys and Central Paratethys, while during Upper Miocene these species are only able to corraleted Tethys.
