Özet:

 


The study area
constitutes the eastern end of the Küçük Menderes Graben and is underlain by
the Ödemiş-Kiraz Submassif of the Menderes Masif. The Middle Miocene Başova
andezite, cut the metamorphic basement and they are calc-alkaline in nature.
Basalts and andesites are considered to be the products of the common igneous
activity because their trace element compositions. During the Late Middle
Miocene time the Kiraz basin way stated to form. In this extensional basin
small lakes were formed with algae and ostracoda populations. At the beginning
the basin was connected to an open sea but later it was controlled by rivers
with alluvial fan deposits. The Suludere formation consist of lacustrine and
fluvial sedimentary rocks and yield ostracoda fossils of the Middle to Late
Miocene. This formation overlaps the metamorphic basement and the volcanic
rocks and unconformably covered by the Aydoğdu formation. This unit consists of
alluvial fan deposits which were formed along high angle faults. The Aydoğdu
formation includes semiconsolidated poorly sorted and laterally digitated sedimentary rocks.
The alluvium covers the youngest depresion. The faults controlled the
extensional basin and the geometry of the sediment in fill. These faults are a
few kilometers in length and bring the various Neogene units in contact with
the older units. The high angle active faults control the present morphology of
the area.
