Özet:

 The aim of the study is to conduct detailed geological, petrographic, and mineralogical examinations of the basaltic scoria and lavas outcropping in Turkmen village, Toprakkale district, Osmaniye Province. The mineralogical and petrographic compositions, as well as textural characteristics of these rocks, have been revealed, and the existing mineralogical components have been identified in the conducted studies. Basic composition rocks in the study area are generally found in three types: pyroclastic, vesicular basalt scoria, and columnar basalt massive. The first type of basic character pyroclastic rocks observed typically consist of volcanic scoria, tuff, and volcanic bombs with diameters of up to approximately 1 m. The second type of volcanic product in the region is the vesicular scoria levels. It has been determined that beneath the scoria-containing rocks, there are occasionally massive structures. Basalts scoria-massive generally exhibit an intergranular porphyritic texture and an ophitic texture, and it has been determined that scoria-type rocks contain abundant cooling gas voids. Conversely, massive-type basic volcanic rocks devoid of voids consist of olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase microlites and are observed to have an average thickness of 1,5-2,2 meters over the observed volcanic rocks in scoria type.

 Çalışmanın amacı Osmaniye İli, Toprakkale ilçesi, Türkmen beldesinde yüzeyleyen bazaltik cüruf ve lavların detaylı jeolojik, petrografik ve mineralojik incelemeleridir. Gerçekleştirilen çalışmalarda bu kayaçların mineralojik, petrografik bileşimi ve dokusal özellikleri ortaya konmuş ve mevcut mineralojik bileşenleri tanımlanmıştır. Çalışma alanındaki bazik bileşimli kayaçlar genellikle piroklastik, gaz boşluklu bazaltlar cüruf ve kolon debili masif olarak üç tipte bulunmaktadır İlk tip olarak gözlemlenen bazik karakterli piroklastik kayaçlar genellikle çapı yaklaşık 1 mye kadar olan volkanik cüruf, tüf ve volkan bombalarından oluşmaktadır. Bölgedeki ikinci tip volkanik ürün, gaz boşluklu cüruf seviyeleridir. Cüruf içerikli kayaçlarının alt seviyelerinde ise yer yer masif yapılı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bazaltların cüruf-masif genellikle intergranüler porfirik dokuda ve ofitik dokuya sahip olduğu ve cürüf türü kayaçların bol miktarda soğuma gaz boşlukları içerdiği belirlenmiştir. Bununla beraber boşluk içermeyen masif tipteki bazik volkanik kayaçlar ise olivin, piroksen ve plajiyoklaz mikrolitlerinden oluşmakta ve cüruf tipinde gözlenen volkanik kayaçların üzerinde ortalama 1,5-2,2 metre kalınlıkta gözlenmektedirler.
