RELATIONS BETWEEN MİOCENE PALEOCOGRAPHY AND MARBLE DEPOSITS OF SE – ANATOLIA
Abstract
In the southern Turkey near Hazro, Hani and Çermik towns of Diyarbakır light and dark beige and pink
limestones are exploited for marble. These limestones which are Miocene in age, are not deformed and
characterized by flat-laying beds. The Miocen carbonate platform was extending from Ergani and Hani in the
north and to Haran near Syrian border in the south.
Along the northern edge of the carbonate platform which aligned from Çermik to Hazro in a NE-SW trend,
barrier-reefs were evolved in which the marble quarries of Hazro, Hani and Çermik are located. To the farther
north of the platform edge and in front of the southerly advancing napped piles of the Taurus Mountain, the Lice
detrital basin was formed during the same period.
Behind the NE-SW trending barrier-reefs, the entire SE-Anatolia was a back-reef area characterized by
clayey and detrital limestones. These limestones do not yield block for marble production. In the back-reef area,
however, sporadic discontinuous patch-reefs were formed that are suitable for marble excavation.
The northern edge of the Miocene carbonate platform were extending from Siirt to Adıyaman and this zone
is a promising area to find large and new reserves of the same kind of reef limestones for marble production.
