ABSTRACTMSc THESİSTHE GEOLOGİCAL CHARACTERİSTİCS OF THE SARIKAVAK-BAĞÇATAĞI (MERSİN) AREALütfiye YILMAZDEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERINGINSTITUTE OF NATURAL AND APPLIED SCIENCESUNIVERSTY OF ÇUKUROVASupervisor : Prof.Dr.Niyazi AVŞARYear:2006, Pages: 54Jury : Prof. Dr. Niyazi AVŞAR: Doç. Dr. Ergül YAŞAR: Yrd. Doç.Dr. Hakan GÜNEYLİThe study is around the Sarıkavak and Bağçatağı villages which is on about 15 kmsoutheastern of Çamlıyayla town.In the study area,1/25.000 scale geological mapping based on faciesanalysis were done using N33 d2-d3-cl ve c4 topographical sheets.Eight stratigraphical units havebeen distinguished and mapped in this investigation. These unites from bottom to top are upperTriassic-Cretaceous Demirkazık formation,which form the base of all unişts and mainly compriseshallow marine and plateform type carbonates, Jurassic-Cretaceous Magmatic complex, Fındıkmelange and Mersin ophiolites, Oligocene- Lower Miocecene Gildirli formation which repsents terrerstrial origin,Lower-Middle Miocene Kaplankaya formation which is characterice by back reefsediments and finally Burdigalian-Langhian aged Karaisalı limestone characterize by reefallimestone.The youngest Sediments of the study are Quaternary aged alluviums.Tertiary sequencesincluding Gildirli formation, Kaplankaya formation and Karaisalı limestones cover the Mesozoicrock unites with angular uncorformity and the youngest deposites of the area, Quaternary alluviumscover all unites with angular unconformity.Key words:Stratigraphy, Tertiary, Sarıkavak, Ecemiş, Gülek.II
