A non-metamorphosed sedimentary sequence of Late Palaeocene-Eocene age exposed to the south of Dereköy Village (east of Denizli) was formerly interpreted as the uppermost part of the Menderes Massif. However, detailed field data indicates that the Dereköy succession rests unconformably on the Lycian ophiolitic mélange and thus cannot be accepted as a part of the Menderes sequence. The Dereköy succession consists of shelf to sub-marine sedimentary deposits that begin with a transgressive basal conglomerate, followed by limestone and then grading upward into clastic turbidites. The clastic beds have intra-basinal and extra-basinal fragments derived from carbonate lenses and the Lycian thrust …
