The purpose of this conference is to present a stratigraphie sedimentory schema of the Pre Middle Eocene sediments in the foredeep basin of S. E. Turkey.

This schema is the result of a detailed study of all available material from deep test wells and from typesections, during the last two years. It consists of the detailed stratigraphie, sedimentory and paleontologic study of the Raman No. 14, Kentalan No. 2, Gercüş No. 1 and Hermis No. 1 testwells, and of a series of 12 sections sampled during last summer in the Derik, Mardin-Savur area. Our control points are thus still widely scattered over the region and information is still far from complete. We will need many more detailed typesections before it will be possible to present a more exact picture. Notwithstanding these drawbacks I will attempt to draw here a picture of the stratigraphy and sedimentation in this part of the foredeep basin of S. E. Turkey.
