The basement units of the study area are Paleozoic-Mesozoic Keban metamorphics and Late Cretaceous Elazığ magmatics. As a result of tectonic events caused by final collision in Middle Maastrichtian, all these basement units were juxtaposed, uplifted, eroded and acted as a source area for the Maastrichtian-Paleogene basins. Upper Cretaceous Paleogene deposits were systematically sampled in order to determine their ages and lithologies. Due to new age findings and stratigraphical positions the marine units were identified as; Harami, Seske and Kırkgeçit formations. Late Oligocene-Early Miocene Alibonca formation and Pliocene Karabakır formation are the other units of the study area. Maastrichtian-Thanetian Harami formation is formed by grainstone intercalated with sandstone at the bottom and white limestone at the top. Early Lutetian Seske formation consists of conglomerate at the bottom and much nummulitic, carbonate cemented sandstone with ophiolitic fragments at the top. Kırkgeçit formation consists of sandstone-siltstone-limestone intercalation, and it is early Bartonian early Chattian. Late Chattian-middle Burdigalian Alibonca formation consists of conglomerate at the bottom, reefal limestone in the middle and clayey limestone intercalated with algal limestone at the top. Pliocene Karabakır formation is formed by conglomerate-mudstone and locally by intercalations of pyroclastics and lavas. Pertek Andesite and Basalt Members are both vertically and laterally transitional with sedimentary lithologies of the Karabakır formation. There is no data to date the lithology; however, it was assumed that it had been Pliocene in age according to the lithostratigraphical succession. In the study area, macrotectonic events were experienced in Late Cretaceous, Early Eocene, middle-late Lutetian, Middle?-Late Miocene and in the Latest Pliocene. During the last tectonic phase, the Anatolian plate bounded by the East Anatolian Fault (EAF) in E-SE began to move westward, and the right lateral strike slip Pertek Fault activated in the study area.
