Two large blocks of red bedded chert identified within the Late Cretaceous–Paleocene Bornova mélange in northern Karaburun Peninsula yielded Jurassic (late Bathonian–early Oxfordian) and Cretaceous (middle–late Albian) radiolarian assemblages. These new data confirm the correlation of the Bornova mélange with the Bornova Flysch Zone (BFZ) and the İzmir–Ankara mélanges. A review of all previously obtained ages in chert blocks of the BFZ and the İzmir–Ankara mélanges is provided in order to strengthen this correlation.
