The Montian Kartal Formation lies in the south-west of Ankara region and overlies the Upper Cretaceous Beyobasi Formation and is overlain by Thanetian Kırkkavak Formation conformably in the studied region (Kayabası village, NW of town of Haymana). A 283 m stratigraphic section, which is mainly composed of an alternation siliciclastic and carbonate rocks has been measured in the Kartal Formation within the Haymana-Polatlı basin. The aim of this study is to carry out the sedimentological and cyclostratigraphical analyses of the upper part of the Kartal Formation within Haymana-Polatlı basin which represents a well developed cyclic pattern. In this study, detailed lithofacies analyses were performed and four different facies were recognized along the measured section: sandstones, limestones, mudrocks and conglomerates. Sedimentological analyses, such as modal, provenance, palaeocurrent, grain-size and grain parameters were also performed and their relation with the depositional environment and change in depositional conditions were discussed. Interpretations of the depositional environment revealed that the deposition occurred by low sinuosity rivers and waves. Additional environmental interpretations suggested that the sediments were deposited in shallow marine and/or coastal (beach) environments. High resolution cyclostratigraphy studies based on meter scale cyclic and rhytmic occurrences of lithofacies along the measured section were performed. The whole section, which is 283 m thick, was divided into large-scale hierarchy-cycles which comprise smaller-scale fining upward and deepening upward cyclic and rhythmic beds.

Post-paleocene deformation in Kalecik region, East of Ankara, Turkey Kasımoğlu, Pınar; Rojay, Fuat Bora; Department of Geological Engineering (2010) In order to understand the tectonic evolution of the Kalecik region (Ankara, Turkey), a structural field study was performed in a selected area located in the east of Kalecik, where mostly imbricated thrust sheets of the Cretaceous Ophiolitic melange crop out. In the study area, the Cretaceous Ophiolitic melange, Cretaceous radiolaria-bearing sequences and the Paleocene units are all intruded by sub-vertical dykes. The attitudes of planar structures (dykes, beds and faults) and the kinematic data measured o...
Sedimentology and stratigraphy of türbeyanı marl sequences and inpiri limestones (late barremian-albian) : implications for possible source and reservoir rocks (nw Turkey) Nabiyev, Anar; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Department of Geological Engineering (2007) Sedimentology, cyclostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy of the Türbeyanı Marls (Albian) and the İnpiri Limestone (Upper Barremian-Albian) members of Ulus Formation (İnciğez, Bartın, Amasra) were interpreted in this study. In the Türbeyanı Marls total of five different facies were defined. Marl and limestone facies are the most abundant in the succession. The depositional environment of the succession was defined as an outer shelf area. Within the pelagic marls 39 smaller order and 9 higher order cycles w...
Early-Middle Triassic echinoderm remains from the Istranca Massif, Turkey Hagdorn, Hans; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2007-01-01) In the northwestern part of the Istranca Massif close to the Turkish-Bulgarian border, recrystallized limestones above germanotype fluvial clastics (Buntsandstein-equivalents) yielded remains of echinoderms and bivalves. The limestones are lensoidal, flaser-bedded and bioturbated, like the Holocrinus lagerstatten, which are common in the germanotype Muschelkalk. The sufficiently preserved crinoid ossicles can be assigned to genus Holocrinus, a crinoid clade that occurs worldwide in Early and Middle Triassic...
Sedimentological, cyclostratigraphic analysis and reservoir characterization of Balakhany X Formation within the productive series Azeri Field on C01 well (Offshore Azerbaijan) Binyatov, Elnur; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The Azeri, Chirag, Gunashli (ACG) field is located offshore Azerbaijan. The reservoirs are multilayered sandstones forming traps within a major anticlinal structure. Proven crude oil reserves are estimated to contain 5.4 billion barrels of oil. In the past this area has been studied in regional detail but not at the reservoir scale with respect to the fluvio-deltaic sediments filling the northern shore of the ancient South Caspian Sea. The aim of this study is carried out the sedimentological, cyclostratigr...
Depositional stacking patterns and cycles of Garzan Formation in the Garzan-Germik oil field: an approach to cycle to log correlation Yıldızel, Zeynep Elif Gaziulusoy; Altıner, Demir; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The Garzan Formation is a deepening upward marine carbonate including successions ranging from subtidal to open marine facies deposited in the Maastrichtian. The Garzan Formation is composed of five microfacies types; Miliolid Wackestone (subtidal), Orbitoid Miliolid Wackestone, Rudist Wackestone (backshoal to shoal), Rotalid Miliolid Wackestone (shoal to foreshoal) and Pelagic Foraminiferal Mudstone (foreshoal to open marine). These five microfacies are stacked in different combinations consisting of five ...
