Neogene Stratigraphy And Paleogeographic Evolution Of The Karaburun Area, İzmi̇r, Western Turkey, Fikret Göktaş
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The western margin of the Foça Depression (FD) is located in the NE of the Karaburun Peninsula. Terrestrial Neogene sediments in the study area which partly representing the western margin of the FD and the mafic volcanics have NW-SE directions towards ‹zmir bay and are separated from the basement rocks by synthetic normal faults. During the Miocene deposition the basin’s boundaries became structurally narrower and two main sedimentary successions have been defined namely the Karaburun group and the Eflendere group which have been separated with angular unconformity in regional scale. The Karaburun group is represented with dominantly lacustrine deposition in …

Neogene Stratigraphy Of The Northern Part Of Karaburun Peninsula, Fikret Göktaş
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The terrigenous Neogene lithology in north of Karaburun peninsula is represented by Lower-
Middle Miocene rock units which are cut and bounded by NW-SE trending synthetic faults.
Dominant lacustrine sedimentation (Haseki and Hisarc›k formations) of Early-Middle Miocene
period which was separated by upper and lower regional unconformities, and the Early Miocene
mafic volcanism (Karaburun volcanites) were studied within the scope of Karaburun group.
Haseki formation which reflects Early Miocene sedimentation begins with fills of alluvial fan of
the Salman member and is basically formed by algal-biostromal Yeniliman limestone and
lacustrine deposits of Aktepe member. With synsedimentary emplacement of the 1st …
