Anamas-Akseki autochthon, Antalya
nappes and Alanya nappe are observed in the study area which is situated to the
southwest of Central Taurus mountais. The Anamas-Akseki autochthon, in the
region, is represented by outcrops of dolomites and limestones of Upper
Norian?-Rhaetian age (Menteşe dolomite, Leylek limestone), conglomerate,
sandstone and mudstones of Rhaetian-Lover Liasic age (Üzümdere fm), limestones
of Middle Liassic-Cenomanian age (Kurucaova fm) + dolomite and limestones of
Liassic-Dogger? age (Hendos dolomite, Alıçbeleni fm.), limestones of Dogger-Malm
age (Çamkuşağı fm), limestone of Malm age (Akkuyu fm, Karlığın fm.), limestones
of Malm-Lover Cretaceous age (Belalan fm.), limestones of Lower Cretaceous age
(Akseki limestone), limestones of Berriasian age (Susuzkır fm.), limestones of
Campanian-Maasrichtian age (Seyrandağı fm., Dumanlı fm), Danian age
olisthostrome of Upper Paleocene-Lower Eocene age (Çetmi limestone ) and
sandstones and conglomerates of Middle Eocene age (Gümüşdamla fm). The Antalya
nappes, cropping out in a narrow approximately east-west trending corridor
between Anamas-Akseki autochthon and Alanya nappe, according to its structural
and stratigraphic features are subdivided into nappes as given below: Çataltepe
nappe represented by Aygırdere (Kasımlar formation, Karasay limestone,
Kepezbeleni formation) and Güzelsu (Kasımlar formation, Kayabükü formation,
Gören formation, Keçili formation) sequences; Alakırçay nappe represented by
rocks ot Lower Triassic-Upper Cretaceous age, Alakırçay (Akıncıbeli formation,
Çandır formation, Keçili formation) and Hocaköy (Halobia bearing limestone,
Hocaköy radiolarite, Keçili formation) sequences; and Tahtalıdağ nappe
represented by rocks of Upper Kambrian-Upper Cretaceous age, Katrandağı
(Çukurköy formation, Akıncıbeli formation, Günlük formation, Katrandağı
kireçtaşı, Keçili formation), Kavzandağı (Seydişehir formation, Güneyyaka
formation, Çukurköy formation, Akıncıbeli formation, Günlük formation,
Kavzandağı formation, Keçili formation) and Gündoğmuş (Seydişehir formation,
Bozşehir formation, Güneyyaka formation, Kızılbağ formation, Akıncıbeli
formation, Sinektepe formation) sequences. In general, during Mesozoic,
Çataltepe nappe represented passive confinental margin, whereas Alakırçay nappe
and Tahtalıdağ nappe represented basin and offshore platform, respectively.
