The study area includes
Belemedik and its vicinity located in the eastern part of Ecemiş Fault Zone
which constitutes the boundary between Central and Eastern Taurides. The area
generally presents Belemedik sequence belonging to Aladağ Unit, ophiolithic melange and ophiolithic rocks
belonging to Bozkır Unit and Tertiary sediments overlying all these units.
Within Belemedik sequence, Late Devonian aged Küçükali, Carboniferous aged
Belemedik, Early Permian aged Sarıoluk, Late Permian aged Kızılgeriş and Yellice,
Early Middle Triassic aged Katarası, Middle-Late Triassic aged Sarıyarma,
Jurassic-Cretaceous aged Çamlık and Yavça Formations were differentiated. In
the previous studies on the vicinity of Belemedik, it was suggested that an
incomplete Mesozoic series overlaying the Palaeozoic core and as a result of
the erosion of this cover, a tectonic window was exposed. However, in this
study, it was demonstrated that a complete Mesozoic series of Early
Triassic-Late Cretaceous age overlaying the Palaeozoic rocks in the vicinity of
Belemedik are presented and hence a tectonic window does not exist in the
vicinity of Belemedik. In addition, it was determined that Belemedik Sequence
displayed similar features with the rock associations of Aladað Unit in terms
of lithological properties and the ages of the units it comprises. In the
region, at the bottom of the Bozkır Unit, which tectonically overlies the
Belemedik Sequence, Late Senonian aged Kızılcadað Ophiolithic Melange and
olistostrome are present. And, at the top of the Bozkır Unit, Late
Cretaceous-aged Pozantı-Karsantı Ophiolithic Nappe is located. While the Pozantı-Ecemiş
Corridor formed by Ecemiş Fault Zone is represented by Oligocene-Miocene aged
units, the Adana Basin is represented by Paleocene-Late Miocene units.
