The Muş Tertiary basin is composed of independently developed basins which are the Middle-Late Eocene, Uppermost
Eocene-Early Miocene, Middle-Late Miocene, Pliocene and Uppermost Pliocene-Quaternary in age. The Middle-Late Eocene
basin is represented the detritics of Kızılağaç formation. The Uppermost Eocene-Early Miocene basin comprises the transgressive
detritics of Uppermost Eocene Ahlat formation at the bottom. The upper part of this formation is composed of intercalated continental
and marine detritics. Upwards the calcareous detritic rocks of Gerisor formation and detritics of Norkavak formation are
seen. Above them Middle-Late Oligocene Yazla formation composed of marine detritic and calcareous rocks is exposed. The sequences
varies upwards, to rhyolitic volcanic rocks of the Uppermost Oligocene of Sergen formation of which the exposures are
few. On top of the above mentioned rocks, regressive detritic and calcareous rocks of Adilcevaz formation of Uppermost Oligocene-Eaiiy
Miocene are exposed. In the Middle-Late Miocene basin, the rocks are developed under the conditions which caused the
deformation of the previous basin and is represented by acidic volcanics of Elçiler formation. In the Pliocene basin, basaltic andesites,
agglomerates and tuffites of Solhan formation and lacustrine deposites of Zırnak formation are developed. The Uppermost
Pliocene-Quaternary basin represented by lacustrine and fluvial deposites of Bulanık formation, tuffites of Nemrut formation,
sandstone and conglomerates of Muş Ovası formation and Holocene alluvial deposites.
