Mut Tertiary basin, situated in the Mediterranean Region of Anatolia, covers mainly the upper district of Göksu
river. The study area is bounded by the villages of Karaman, Mut, Ermenek, Gülnar and Sarıkavak. The study Tertiary sequences
transgressively overlie the Paleozoic and Mesozoic aged basement. The oldest unit of the Tertiary sequence (Yenimahalle formation)
is the Post-Eocene detritics exposing in the west and indicate limnic and/or brackish environment. Fakırca formation which rest
upon these detritics, is primarily of the Upper Oligocene and Lower Miocene age. The ostracod and the foraminifer contents of
the formation indicate the environmental change between limnic and brackish conditions. This formation is conformably overlain
by Derinçay formation including bentonic-planktonic foraminifers and ostracod fauna and indicate shallow marine environment
of Burdigalian. The Tertiary sequence is succeded by Köselerli formation and microfauna contents designate shallow marine sedimentation
at the end of Burdigalian and beginning of Langhian. According to the fossil contents and field observations, Mut
formation which generally placed at the top and exhibited lateral and vertical extinction to Derinçay and Köselerli formations,
indicates Langhian-Serravalian timtespan.
