This paper presents , it is aimed to reveal Mesozoic
stratigraphy of Ladik-Akdag region in detail. In the study area, rocks formed
in various facies which are different from each other are observed. On the
basis of the region, Permo-Triassic aged limestones and Permian aged
limestones, mostly in the block, are located in the north, although they have
basal rocks in the ages of Permo-Triassic and autochthonous in the south. The
cover rocks begin with Liassic aged clastics covering the base rocks and the
Dogger aged rocks consisting of metamorphic and volcanic conglomerates and
recrystallized limestones. Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous aged shallow marine and
Tithonic facies-developed limestones are unconformably overlying Dogger rocks.
In the study area, whereas the lower levels of the Upper Cretaceous are
composed of sandstone-marly intercalated flysch and limestones, Maastrichtian
consists of rocks in the volcano-flysch facies. Within the pelagic mudstones
belonging to the unit, Pseudocyclammina
liasica Hottinger, Triloculina
sp., Involutina sp., Quinqueloculina sp., and Pentacirinus sp. Fossils have been also
identified in addition to such ammonites as Phylloceras
sp., Calliphylloceras sp. Ameltheus sp., Oxycerites sp., Juraphyllites
sp. Taken the relationship of the rocks in the region to each other into
consideration, the presence of a gradual transgression along the Mesozoic is
remarkable. Tertiary consists of Quaternary aged terrestrial formations and
alluviums.
