Tectono-stratigraphical investigation of Bağbaşi-Dereiçi (North of Hadim?Konya)

Aladağ, Bolkardağ, Bozkır and Geyikdağı tectonic units are the rock units of the Middle Taurides that reflecting different environmental conditions. The Geyikdağ unit which widely crops out in the study area lies on the Lutetian age marine sediments as horizontal nappes. Bozkır unit is a kind of melange unit that includes the blocks of various sizes of rocks derived from basinal-slope environment and partly from platform sediments, submarine volcanics, tuffs, diabase, serpentine-like rocks formed between Triassic and Cretaceous time period. Tectonic slices with different thickness are seen between Geyikdağı and Aladağ units representing ophiolitic melanges comprises ophiolite, volcanic intercalated pelagic limestones of an Oceanic basin that formed between late Paleocene and early Eocene time period. It is thought that the Bozkır unit is internally sliced itself and thrusted onto the Bolkar and Aladağ tectonic units. It is thought that the Bozkır unit carried by Bolkar and Aladağ units with ophiolites thrusted onto the Geyikdağ unit during early Eocene.
