There exists oolite and pisolite occurrences within travertine of Pliocene-Quaternary age at northeast
of Mut (İçel). The oolite grains are smaller than 2 mm, whereas pisolite grains are between 2 mm and 1 cm
in size. These are rounded and ellipsoidal in shape. Each oolite and pisolite grain contains a nucleus at its centre,
elastics carbonate sand grain, surrounded by laminated concentric calcite layers. These occurrences developed
from roof, mixing grains in the splashing pool.
