SEDIMENTARY CHARACTERISTICS OF TERRESTRIAL PALEOCENE DEPOSITS IN NORTHERN ANKARA REGION, TURKEY

Abstract

The terrestrial Paleocene sequences at the north of Ankara are chiefly composed of alluvial fan deposits, braided and meandering river sediments and lacustrine carbonate mudstones. In a limited area, only around Orhaniye village, fine-grained volcanoclastics and lavaş are observed. Ali these deposits are in a vertical örder both grain size and depositional environment and they pass into marine Eocene units.
