Özet:

 Kastabala Ancient City is located 25 kilometers from the center of Osmaniye city in the southern part of Turkey. Petrographic studies of the rocks found in the ancient city have defined olivine micro-gabbro, granite, carbonate sandstone, brecciated limestone, fossiliferous limestone, micritic limestone, conglomerate, and gravelstone units. Among these rocks, olivine micro-gabbro, granite, and brecciated limestones were generally used in columns. Fossiliferous limestone and micritic limestone were used in the amphitheater and carbonate sandstone was used in the walls around the amphitheater. It has been determined that these rocks are compatible with the regional geology, and they were brought from the hill where the ancient city is located and used. It has been concluded that the rocks defined as granite are not part of the regional geology and were brought in from outside.

 Kastabala Antik Kenti Türkiyenin güney kesiminde Osmaniye şehrinin merkezine 25 kilometre mesafede bulunmaktadır. Antik kentte bulunan kayaçlardan yapılan petrografik incelemeler neticesinde olivinli mikro-gabro, granit, karbonatlı kumtaşı, breşik kireçtaşı, fosilli kireçtaşı, mikritik kireçtaşı, konglomera, çakıltaşı birimleri tanımlanmıştır. Bu kayaçlardan olivinli mikro gabro, granit ve breşik kireçtaşları genellikle sütunlarda kullanılmıştır. Amfi tiyatroda fosilli kireçtaşı, mikritik kireçtaşı ve amfi tiyatro kenarlarındaki duvarlarda karbonatlı kumtaşı kullanılmıştır. Bu kayaçların bölgesel jeoloji ile uyumluluk gösterdiği tespit edilmiş olup, antik kentin bulunduğu tepe ile yakınlardan getirilerek kullanılmıştır. Granit olarak tanımlanan kayaçların ise bölge jeolojisi içerisinde yer almamakta olup dışarıdan getirildiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
