The Sedimentological Features of Lutetian-aged Yeşilyurt Group at the Yeşilyurt - Gündüzbey Area (Malatya, Turkey)
Öz
Abstract:The stratigraphic sequence in the study area starts with Carboniferous-Triassic the Malatya Metamorphics, which are composed of marble and schist, covered unconformably by the Maastrichtian Gündüzbey Group. The Group includes Kızılgüney Formation with conglomerate and sandstones, and Kapullu Formation containing limestone-marl alternations, with turbiditic sandstone intercalations. The sequence continues with the Lutetian Yeşilyurt Group includes Zorbon, Yukarıbanazı and Gedik Formations, overlying unconformably the Kapullu Formation. The Zorbon Formation is composed of conglomerate interbedded with sandstone and mudstone while the Yukarıbanazı Formation consists of sandstone and shale alternation with intercalations of conglomerates and olistolithes. The Gedik Formation is composed of reefal limestone, claystone and marl, and underlies the Pliocene Beylerderesi Formation including conglomerate interbedded with sandstone. The Quaternary alluvium unconformably overlies all the units in the region. Early dolomitization occurred as disseminated in the Gedik Formation.
