Abstract: The structural setting the general stratigraphy of the Antalya nappes complex are described Particular attention is given on the topic of the Triassic evolution. The epibaikalian paleozoic-eotriassic bassement isinitiated in middle Triassic time is general during the rest of the Triassic epoch. This block faulting processus iswell documented by several field evidence. This geodynamic event is in close relation with the early stage of riftingcorresponding in this part of the alpine system with the birth of a new oceanic realm: the alpine Neotethys.Finally a palinspastic reconstruction is proposed.
