The stadied area lies in the
north of Azakpur town in the east of Muş Tertiary basin. In this study, the age
of the towermost levels of the basin, which was unknown, has been determined as
the Upper Lutetian. These Upper Lutetian rocks consist of claystone-sandstone-conglomerate
alternation. Lower levels gradualy pass marine sequence. Lower-Middle Oligosen
rocks, consisting of a limy claystone-sandstone alternation, overlie
unconformably Upper Lutetian rocks with a conglomeratic level. Upper
Oligocene-Lower Miocene rocks overlie the Lower-Middle Oligocene sequence
conformably. They are made up of limy claystone-sandstone alternation with rare
limestone interbeds and they reflect deep marine conditions. Lower Miocene
rocks comprise limy claystone, conglomerate, sandy limestone and reefal
limestone, and indicate shallow marine conditions. Pliocene terrigeneous
formations unconformably overlie the Lower Miocene rocks and composed of
conglomerate, sandstone and claystone. They also include some lacustrine limestone
and volcanic levels.
