A Preliminary Study of the: Tertiary Volcanic and Sedimentary Rocks, Gümele, Eskişehir

Abstract

The sedimentary and volcanic rocks occuring north-northwest of highly deformed and metamorphosed rocks of Seyitgazi-Eskişehir anticlinorium are discussed in this paper. The Tertiary sedimentary rocks of terrestrial and lacustrine fades were deposited in the Southern Eskişehir cuvette. Terrestrial fades consist of grits, sandstones, clays and marls with plant remains and a basal conglomerate with serpentinite boulders. Lacustrine fades on the other hand, are mainly made of argillaceous and tuffaceous limestones, limestones, marls, conglomerates and tuffs. These oldest sediments and pyroclastics of the cuvette were formed during the Lower Miocene. Pliocene volcanic rocks consist of flat-lying basic-intermediate lava flows and occur at the Lower-Upper Neogene sedimentation break. Upper Neogen sediments or found as thin bands over the intermediate basaltic volcanic rocks and consist of marls and limestones. The acid volcanic actvity of Lower Miocene age which produced the unwelded tuffs (sillar) occured prior to the deposition of the oligomict conglomerate formation and probably continued to a lessr extent gwing rise to the tuffaceous limestones. The basicintermediate (benmoreite) lava flows of Pliocene age followed, the formation and erosion of these sedimentary and pyroclastic rocks of the lacustrine fades.
The sillar, benmoreite, tuffaceous limestone and the matrices and cements of dolomitte and calcarous conglomerates are studied, in detail, petrochemically and some suggestions are made to explain their petrogenesis.
