Sedimantary Faciès and Tectonic Evolution of Central Paff of the Gelibolu Penisula, NW Anatolia, Turkey

ABSTRACT: There arc five different sedimentary sequences which are differed from each other by disconfonmities,,. in `the study area.. `These are; (1) Late Cretaceous-Paleocene sedimantary sequence, with, out not giving outcrops, at the base and ending regiessively at the top (pelagic Lort. limestone). (2) Early Eocene sedimentary sequence, begining with transgression and, ending with regression, (reclfal. Başoğlu member, flysch feature. Saz member and. .terrestrial Tayfur formation). (3) Mittle-Late Eocene and Oligocène sedimentary sequence oommencing with transgression and ending with, regression (recifal Kozlutepe limestone, flysch feature. Karaağaç member, Kabasal memmer and terrestrial Göksu rn.em.ber), (4) Locally marine and, terrestrial. Middle-Late. Miocene sedimentary sequence (Eceabat formation) and. (5) Terrestrial Late Pliocene sedimentary sequence.. Post Late- Cretaceous-Paleocene and pre-Miocene sedimentary sequence have, `been deposited controlling, with ender the influence of epirogemc events. "The tectonic structures in Early Miocene were formed by compressional forces developed in the south with the widening of Saras Graben.. Geometrical relations among Early Miocene age faults, folds: and. joints; proves, that the region was influence, of compressional force in the NW-SE direction. Middle-Late. Miocene sedimentation are controlled by the. grow up faults
