The study area includes
Mut-Karaman part of the Mut Miocene Basin. Lowermost lithostratigraphic unit of
Miocene is Göcekler formation which is represented by mudstone and conglomerate
of Aquatian age. This formation is unconforably overlies the late Cretaceous
basement. The Göcekler formation gradually pass both laterally and vertically
into the Aquatian-alt Burdigalian The Fakırca formation which is characterized
by clayey limestone/sandstone and coal bearing shale. Clayey limestone part of the
Fakirca formation is recognized as the Kestelkapızı member. Marine rock units
in the region can be grouped into five formation: The Mut formation, the
Köselerli formation, the Dağpazarı formation, the Tirtar formation and the
Ballı formation. The Mut formation, the Köselerli formation and the Dağpazarı
formation is form the lower part of the sequence. At the upper part of sequence
there are the Tirtar formation and the Ballı formations. The Mut formation and
the Köselerli formation are represented by limestones, clayey limestone and
marl, whereas the Dağpazarı formation consist of calcarenite, limestone,
claystone, mudstone. Mut formation and Köselerli formation are laterally
transitional and are of Upper Burdigalian-LangianSerravalian (?Lower Serravalian)
age. The Dağpazarı formation was deposited in Langian-Serravalian (?Lower
Serravalian) time interval. The Tirtar formation is represented by limestone
and unconformably overlies the Dağpazarın formation. The Tirtar formation is
represented by limestones. The age of the Tirtar formation is Serravalian
(?Upper Serravalian)- Tortonian. The lateral equivalent unit of the Tirtar
formation is the Ballı formation and is composed of clayey limestone and marl.
At the top, Pliocene continental elastics and lacustrine limestones
unconformably overlies the Miocene sequence.
