Stratigraphy of The Ladik - Destek Region
Abstract: Rocks of different age variable facies crop out in the Lâdik - Destek region. The oldest of theserocks are the crystalline schists, as either Mesozoic / Precambrian. The appropriate age, however, should be at leastolder than Permian, since the limestones of Permian age overlie the schists whit an angular unconformity.Paleozoic in the region is represented by the Permian limestones typical eugeosynclinal rocks of Liassic lie overPermian rocks with another angular unconformity. Dogger does not exist, instead the liassic rocks are unconformablyoverlain by the limestones of Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous age.In the research area, flysch. Limestone, flysch with volcanic contributions constitute the dominant faciesof the lower levels of Upper Cretaceous (Cenomenian-Turonian), Senonian - Maastrichtian respectively. These unitsdisplay a conformable relationship. Interrelations of the rocks of this region indicate the occurrence of a gradualtransgression throughout the mesozoic Era.Tertiary comprises the formations of marine - originated volcanic Lutatian continental Neogene.
