AB  - The basement of the study territory covering theNiksar-Erbaa territories and their immediate vicinity, located on the north andabove the North Anatolian Fault, forms the rocks belonging to Permo-Triassicaged Karakaya Complex . The Mesozoic units forming the primary cover rocks inthe region consist of the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous aged Titonic faciesdeveloped Calpionelli limestones, Upper Cretaceous aged tuffs and rugged rocks.Mesozoic formations begin with Liassic sandstones, mudstones and limestones,which come transgressively with angular unconformity over the basement rocks.The Tertiary-Berriyan aged units with titanic facies bearing the ages ofCenomanian-Maestrichtian aged units started with agglomerates andreddish-colored, firmly adherent conglomerates. Upper Cretaceous unitscontinuing with carbonate-cemented polygenic sandstones, variegated coloredcarbonate marl-mudstone plies and their partially metamorphosed derivatives andrecrystallized limestones are terminated by sandstone-marl-limestoneintercalations, including volcanic intercalations developed inbasaltic-andesitic dykes . In the pelagic mudstones belonging to the unit, Pentacirinussp. and Belemnit fossils have been also identified in addition to such Ammonites sp., Phylloceras sp., Oxyceritessp., Sphaeroceras sp., Ausseites sp.. It is unconformablyoverlain by shallow marine units consisting of limestones andlimestone-sandstone alternations of Paleocene-Lower Eocene aged Nummuliticlimestones forming the second cover units of the area. In the neotectonicperiod, sedimentary rocks of Pliocene aged are deposited in the sedimentaryareas formed by the formation and development of the North Anatolian Fault. Theyoungest units of the region are the Pleistocene aged young basalt formationsand Quaternary aged alluvium, slope rubble and accumulation cones.
